AMD Partners with Wormhole Ecosystem to Improve Blockchain Interoperability through Hardware Accelerators
On February 21, the interoperability platform Wormhole revealed a partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to incorporate AMD’s FPGA hardware accelerators into the Wormhole ecosystem.
An official blog post indicated that the collaboration will see AMD providing the zero-knowledge (zk) interoperability platform with enterprise-level field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware accelerators.
Inclusion of AMD FPGA Hardware and Alveo Accelerator Cards
Additionally, AMD’s exclusive Alveo U55C and U250 adaptable accelerator cards will be included in the integration.

Low latency is essential for facilitating seamless transactions throughout the blockchain ecosystem. Achieving this capability requires blockchain protocols to handle substantial data payloads, demanding significant computing power and resources.
AMD’s proficiency in this area will enable Wormhole to provide speed and scalability for the multichain decentralized applications (dApps) being developed on its platform.
Wormhole aims to enhance blockchain interoperability, especially for zero-knowledge (zk) cryptographic platforms like its own.
Blockchain interoperability refers to the ability to facilitate communication between different solutions. As blockchain networks are frequently isolated, they depend on interoperability to synchronize information such as data and transactions across networks, bridging existing gaps.
Wormhole tackles this issue by monitoring multiple layer-1 blockchains for messages generated by their integrated smart contracts.

By utilizing its Wormhole Core Layer, which is present on over 30 blockchain solutions, the messages are directed to the intended chain, ensuring accurate delivery of the transmitted data. Thus, the blockchain protocol is regarded as a decentralized, universal message-passing protocol that underpins the crypto industry.
Commenting on the partnership, AMD’s Director of Product Management, Adaptive, and Embedded Computing Group, Hamid Salehi, stated that both platforms are focused on enhancing decentralized computing within the blockchain sector.
Salehi also mentioned that the collaboration would foster innovation in a dynamic, high-growth technology sector represented by the distributed ledger ecosystem.
Zero-knowledge Light Clients Set to Launch on Mainnet Soon
In the coming months, Web3 developers working within the Wormhole ecosystem will introduce various zero-knowledge light clients on Wormhole’s mainnet.
These light clients will be developed on the AMD devices provided by the Wormhole ecosystem to monitor their performance in real time.
The light clients will also act as a conduit for message transfer between Ethereum, Near, Solana, Aptos, Sui, and Cosmos.
Further information is awaited regarding whether the zero-knowledge light clients will be extended to the additional 25+ blockchain networks that Wormhole supports.
Wormhole Contributor Rahul Maganti emphasized that minimizing reliance on centralized third parties is a key objective of their collaboration with AMD.
