The proposal will now turn out to be a part of a closing plan to deploy Uniswap V3 to the BNB Chain, which can go up for a binding governance vote sooner or later sooner or later.
Wormhole was up in opposition to three rival bridge options within the DAO’s referendum: LayerZero, deBridge and Celer. It bought a transparent majority with 62.31% of the vote. LayerZero was second with 37.58%, and DeBridge and Celer every bought lower than 0.1%.
That is the second time the Uniswap DAO has tried to succeed in consensus on the selection of bridging options. On Jan. 21, the DAO voted in a temp examine to deploy Uniswap V3 on the BNB Chain and to make the most of Celer bridge to deal with cross-chain governance votes. Nevertheless, even earlier than this vote had completed, some neighborhood members had began to express safety and centralization considerations relating to utilizing Celer bridge.

On Jan. 27, DAO members started voting on this second temperature examine to resolve particularly on the selection of bridge, with the understanding that the choice to deploy to BNB chain had been settled within the earlier vote.
The Solana-Ethereum model of Wormhole was hacked in February 2022, permitting the attacker to realize $321 million value of crypto in one of many largest decentralized finance exploits ever. Nevertheless, the Wormhole staff changed the Ether (ETH) within the bridge to reimburse customers, and the BNB-Ethereum model of the bridge doesn’t appear to have been affected by the exploit.
LayerZero was not too long ago the topic of controversy, as a rival developer accused the bridging protocol of getting safety vulnerabilities. The LayerZero staff has rejected the accusation, claiming it’s deceptive.
