Solana Security

One way to bridge assets (or send messages in general) to/from Solana is to use the Wormhole protocol.

Wormhole has an off-chain network of "Guardians" that pass these messages across chains.

However, there are exactly 19, and only 19... anyone know something about this?

Every guardian needs to run a full node (as opposed to light nodes) of every blockchain that Wormhole supports. Definitely not a trivial task.

Found it:
> Thus, a t-schnorr multisig presents itself as the best option: cheap and well supported
> All these things considered, 19 seems to be the maximum number and a good tradeoff

Still not clear on the details, but that's the reasoning
