+Wormhole is a generic **message-passing protocol** that enables communication between blockchains.

+## 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.
