||
| This simple message-passing protocol allows developers and users of cross-chain applications to leverage the advantages of multiple ecosystems. | ||

| ### What Can Wormhole Be Used For? | ||
| ## What Can Wormhole Be Used For? | ||
|
|
||
| Consider the following examples of potential applications enabled by Wormhole: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Cross-Chain Exchange**: Using [Wormhole Connect](#), developers can build exchanges that allow deposits from any Wormhole-connected chain, significantly increasing liquidity access. | ||
| - **Cross-Chain Governance**: NFT collections on different networks can use Wormhole to communicate votes cast on their respective chains to a designated "voting" chain for combined proposals. | ||
| - **Cross-Chain Game**: Games can be developed on a performant network like Solana, with rewards issued as NFTs on another network, such as Ethereum. | ||
