## Overview

As blockchain ecosystems evolve, the ability to build applications that span multiple chains becomes increasingly important. This tutorial explores how to connect Solana with other blockchains to create truly interoperable applications.

Key topics covered:

- Understanding cross-chain messaging and token bridging
- Working with Wormhole for secure cross-chain communication
- Implementing token bridges to move assets between Solana and other chains
- Building applications that leverage multiple blockchain ecosystems
- Security considerations for cross-chain applications
- Testing and debugging cross-chain interactions
- Cross-chain composability patterns and best practices

This guide is essential for developers looking to expand beyond a single blockchain ecosystem and tap into the unique strengths of multiple networks. You'll learn how to leverage Solana's speed and cost-efficiency while maintaining connections to other major blockchains and their ecosystems. 

Explore how to build applications that connect Solana with other blockchains using bridges, wormhole, and cross-chain messaging protocols.
