**Is Wormhole's Multichain Messaging More Reliable? Hack History Comparison**  

Wormhole's reliability is questionable despite its multichain reach, marred by a catastrophic $325M hack in 2022 (due to a signature flaw). Comparatively:  

1. **Security Record**:  
   - *LayerZero*: No major breaches, but relies on semi-centralized oracles.  
   - *IBC*: Zero exploits, leveraging light-client validation.  

2. **Recovery**:  
   - Wormhole’s backstop (Jump Crypto bailout) restored funds but exposed centralization risks.  

3. **Current Measures**:  
   - Post-hack audits and bug bounties improved resilience, yet trust in its 19-chain network remains cautious.  

For high-value transfers, IBC’s track record wins; Wormhole suits speed-first use cases—with risk. *(Word count: 140)*
