wHBAR
wHBAR is the Solana credit that stands 1:1 for locked HBAR.
The unit
wHBAR is the mint Solana uses as collateral. Its supply rises when Hedera reports a lock and falls when units are burned for a release.
One hundred wHBAR means one hundred HBAR sitting in the reserve. A burn of one hundred releases one hundred.
Where it sits
Issuers post wHBAR to open a market. Traders spend it and receive it on fills.
- A filing posts wHBAR as depth.
- A buy spends wHBAR.
- A sell returns wHBAR.
- The 1% levy is collected in wHBAR.
The count
Wormhole carries the Hedera lock as a signed amount. Solana credits only that amount.
A burn on Solana starts the return. Hedera sends HBAR out after Wormhole accepts the burn.
