Glossary
Terms used throughout the Sunrise docs.
Canonical asset / canonical mint — The single official, Solana-native version of an asset, recognized across wallets, DEXs, aggregators, and explorers. Identified by one mint address.
Wrapped token — A bridge-specific representation of an asset on a foreign chain. Multiple bridges create multiple incompatible wrappers, fragmenting liquidity. Sunrise listings replace wrappers with one canonical asset.
Mint address — The unique onchain identifier of a token on Solana (a base58 address). Always verify the mint, not the ticker.
TGE (Token Generation Event) — The moment a token first comes into existence. Pre-TGE listings through Sunrise go live on Solana from the first minute the token exists.
NTT (Native Token Transfers) — Wormhole’s framework for moving tokens across chains natively (burn/mint or lock/mint) rather than via wrappers. See the NTT overview in the Wormhole docs.
WTT (Wormhole Token Transfers) — Wormhole’s wrapped token transfer infrastructure, used alongside NTT in some Sunrise deployments.
OFT / CCIP — Alternative cross-chain token frameworks (LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard and Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol). Sunrise is framework-agnostic and works with these as well as custom setups.
Guardian network — The decentralized set of independent nodes that verify Wormhole cross-chain messages. See Guardians in the Wormhole docs.
Rate limits — Configurable caps on cross-chain transfer flow; a security feature that bounds the impact of any incident.
Two-sided reconciliation — Continuous checking that token supply on the destination chain matches what is locked or burned on the source chain.
Aggregator — A venue (e.g., Jupiter, Titan, DFlow) that routes a swap across multiple DEXs for best execution.
RWA (Real-World Asset) — A tokenized representation of an off-chain asset such as a stock or commodity.
Dynamic asset — A tokenized real-world good redeemable for the physical product, such as SV151 (sealed Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 151 booster packs).
