 ## Introduction 
 
-Wormhole's Token Bridge enables seamless cross-chain token transfers using a lock-and-mint mechanism.

Additionally, the Token Bridge supports [contract-controlled transfers (transfers with messages)](/docs/learn/infrastructure/vaas/#token-transfer-with-message){target=\_blank}, where arbitrary byte payloads can be attached to the token transfer, enabling more complex chain interactions.

 Wormhole’s Token Bridge addresses these challenges by providing a decentralized protocol for seamless cross-chain token transfers through a lock-and-mint mechanism. Using Wormhole’s message-passing protocol, the Token Bridge allows standards-compliant tokens, like ERC-20 on Ethereum or SPL on Solana, to be transferred between different blockchains while preserving their original attributes.
