The primary cross-chain messaging and bridge protocol for Solana, enabling asset transfers between Solana, Ethereum, and 20+ other chains. Wormhole uses a network of 19 Guardian nodes that observe and attest to cross-chain messages. The protocol was exploited for $320M in Feb 2022 (patched). It supports token transfers, NFT bridging, and arbitrary message passing.

A protocol that enables transferring assets or data between different blockchains. Bridges use mechanisms like lock-and-mint (lock on source, mint wrapped on destination), liquidity pools, or relay networks. Bridges are high-value attack targets—Wormhole ($320M, 2022), Ronin ($625M, 2022). Wormhole is Solana's primary bridge to Ethereum and other chains.
The ability of different blockchains to communicate and share data or assets. Achieved through bridges (Wormhole), messaging protocols (LayerZero, Axelar), and shared standards. Cross-chain interoperability enables multi-chain DeFi, unified liquidity, and chain-agnostic applications. Solana connects to other chains primarily through Wormhole and Circle's CCTP.

Acronym for 'We're All Gonna Make It.' An expression of collective optimism and community solidarity used during bull markets, protocol milestones, and positive announcements. WAGMI reinforces group cohesion and shared belief in long-term success. The counterpart to NGMI, it originated from bodybuilding culture and was adopted by crypto communities during the 2021 bull cycle.
The vision of a decentralized internet built on blockchain technology, where users own their data, identity, and digital assets. Web1 was read-only (static pages), Web2 is read-write (platforms like social media), Web3 is read-write-own (permissionless, user-sovereign). Web3 applications use wallets instead of logins and smart contracts instead of centralized servers.
An individual or entity holding a very large amount of a particular cryptocurrency or token, enough to potentially influence market prices through their trading activity. On Solana, whale movements can be tracked on-chain by monitoring large token transfers or wallet balances via explorers and analytics tools. Whale activity is closely watched because large buys or sells can cause significant price swings, especially in tokens with lower liquidity.

Web3 applications use wallets instead of logins and smart contracts instead of centralized servers.
An application with its backend logic running on a blockchain as smart contracts rather than centralized servers. dApps typically have a traditional web frontend that interacts with on-chain programs via RPC. Users authenticate with wallets instead of username/password. Examples: Uniswap (Ethereum DEX), Jupiter (Solana DEX), Magic Eden (NFT marketplace).
Software or hardware that manages cryptographic keys and enables users to sign transactions, view balances, and interact with dApps. Hot wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) are internet-connected for convenience. Cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) store keys offline for security. Wallets don't actually 'hold' tokens—they hold the private keys that control on-chain accounts.
A 12 or 24-word human-readable backup of a wallet's master private key, generated using BIP-39 standard. The seed phrase can deterministically regenerate all derived keypairs (BIP-44 derivation paths). Losing the seed phrase means permanently losing access to all associated accounts. Never share, photograph, or store seed phrases digitally in plain text.
