According to Cointelegraph: Since its creation in September 2021, the cross-chain messaging protocol Wormhole has exceeded over 1 billion messages sent. As of February 13th, Wormhole processes about 110,640 daily messages, moving approximately $30 million worth of funds, oracle feeds, and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) across 30 blockchains daily, with a total volume of $39.6 billion.
In January, Wormhole's total value locked (TVL) reached $1 billion, prominently comprising Ether (ETH), Fantom (FTM), and Solana (SOL) assets. The peak TVL was $3.8 billion in May 2022, before the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, initiating the start of the crypto winter.
A significant proportion of Wormhole's transactions have been moved between Polygon and Celo and from Solana to Polygon (and vice versa). Decentralized exchange Pyth Network, which accounts for 48% of blockchain-oracle-mediated trading volume, is one among numerous decentralized applications using Wormhole, with others being Uniswap, Circle, Lido, and Synthetix.
On February 7th, Wormhole published its tokenomics white paper, revealing plans to airdrop 17% of its 10 billion tokens to its community. However, a specific date for the airdrop was not disclosed.
In 2023, Wormhole announced a fundraising realization of $225 million at a valuation of $2.5billion in a round led by Brevan Howard, Coinbase Ventures, Multicoin Capital, Jump Trading, ParaFi, Dialectic, Borderless Capital, and Arrington Capital.
