Wormhole is excited to put forth its proposal to enable the cross-chain expansion of the HUMAN Routing Protocol.

Before that, a quick intro to Wormhole — Wormhole is a leading cross-chain interoperability protocol, allowing generic messaging over 19 heterogenous blockchains,and 7 different runtimes across EVM, Move VM, Solana, Cosmos etc, and soon to be many more.

Since launch on mainnet in August 2021, 30 million messages have been transmitted, with 2 million messages being generated a day between asset transfers and messaging. The sheer load of messages that Wormhole processes in a 24-hour period is comparable to an L1 and signals its high reliability.

HUMAN Routing Protocol is an important coordination layer, enabling a decentralized network of actors to trustlessly collaborate. We propose that Wormhole is well-suited to enable cross-chain access to $HMT and governance participation/voting — which are essential coordination elements of the protocol.

Decentralization and Security

Wormhole relies on a PoA consensus with 19 guardians. Each Guardian is a fully independent entity with broad and deep interests in the crypto community. Each runs its own node for each chain and holds equal weight in governance and voting. Of the 19 guardians, Wormhole requires more than two-thirds to reach consensus and pass verification — thus, we assume that at least one-third of our guardian set is honest.
Our guardian set is comprised of the leading PoS validators with billions in active delegations across the biggest PoS chains — P2P, Chorus One, Everstake, Staked.us to name a few.

Wormhole leads the industry in commitment to security. It has the most generous bug bounty program in crypto, which has been defined on both, Immunefi and Wormhole’s website. Additionally, Wormhole has been audited 14 times by multiple firms (e.g., Trail of Bots, Noedyme, Kudelski, Ottersec) with more underway. Wormhole will continue along both of these fronts so as to uphold high standards of security for its users and protocols across supported ecosystems.
