On December 6th, Wormhole, a cross-chain infrastructure, announced the launch of its cross-chain real-time data retrieval method, Wormhole Queries, which allows application developers to extract any on-chain data as needed. Wormhole claims that compared to the push model, Queries provides a delay of less than 1 second and can reduce gas fees by 84%. Wormhole Queries introduces a pull model, where integrators submit query requests to the Wormhole Guardian network, and the Guardian processes these requests and publishes results for on-chain data validation and consumption.
