This collaboration with Google Cloud strengthens Wormhole’s defense-in-depth security and expands ZK research for Wormhole

CAYMAN ISLANDS, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Wormhole Foundation, the team supporting the development of the Wormhole platform, today announced Google Cloud as the newest addition to the Guardian Network. Wormhole’s Guardian Network is a decentralized set of highly-reputable validator nodes—including RockawayX, P2P, Figment, Everstake, among others—crucial for transaction verification. The Guardian Network is the backbone of the Wormhole ecosystem’s security and verification technology. As a Guardian Node, Google Cloud’s infrastructure strengthens the decentralized network, ensuring uptime while providing verification redundancy coverage across the entire Guardian set by immediately backfilling any Guardian that experiences downtime.

“Wormhole contributors are constantly working to improve Wormhole’s defense-in-depth security mechanisms. Our collaboration with Google Cloud will enable a platform-wide security upgrade that strengthens Wormhole’s decentralized Guardian Network,” said Dan Reecer, co-founder and COO of Wormhole Foundation. “Google Cloud brings the latest enhancement to Wormhole’s advanced security system to minimize downtime and unverified messages for thousands of application developers and users across over 30 supported blockchains.”

“Google Cloud’s collaboration with Wormhole demonstrates our investment to help scale the Web3 ecosystem by providing powerful computing systems to help the pioneers of Web3 build more securely and efficiently,” said Rishi Ramchandani, Head of Web3 APAC, Google Cloud. “Wormhole provides a universal, open source, and secure interoperability platform across the blockchain ecosystem making them a valuable partner that can maximize the full potential of our technology’s global scale.”

Wormhole’s defense-in-depth security strategy employs a multi-layered approach to safeguard cross-chain communications. The decentralized Guardian Network is reinforced by two critical components: the Global Accountant, which maintains strict 1:1 parity between native and wrapped assets across blockchains, and the Governor, which monitors and limits asset outflows to prevent cross-chain contagion. Together with rigorous auditing and open-source development practices, these mechanisms form a comprehensive security infrastructure that has established Wormhole as a trusted leader in interoperability and the only interoperability protocol unconditionally approved by the security experts of Uniswap’s Bridge Assessment Committee. The addition of Google Cloud to the Guardian Network will further these efforts, by adding security redundancy built on Google Cloud’s reliable, planet-scale infrastructure.

In addition to adding Google Cloud to the Guardian Network, this collaboration will further accelerate Wormhole’s ZK roadmap to optimize multichain security through extended research and product development. A key initiative will be strengthening provers for rapid, cheap, and trustless message verification that is uninterrupted across chains. With Google Cloud’s support, Wormhole is researching the addition of trustless ZK verification mechanisms in addition to the Wormhole Guardians. Google Cloud will also collaborate with Wormhole on the upcoming Wormhole “Sigma” Hackathon in Fall 2024, reinforcing the commitment of both teams in shaping the ZK ecosystem. This collaboration will bring the hackathon participants access to Google Cloud’s deep AI and Web3 expertise including credits, expert sessions from AI engineers, and access to latest technology & tools.

Datavault AI Founder Nathaniel Bradley Sues Board

Published

November 7, 2026

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lawsuit Alleges Chairman and CFO Brett Moyer Engineered a Weekend Lockout While Keeping a $90–$100 Million Financing Offer From Independent Directors

Datavault AI Founder Nathaniel Bradley Sues Board

Nathaniel Bradley, the founder whose technology became Nasdaq-listed Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), today filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery asking the court to declare his contested ouster as CEO void and restore him to office. The complaint alleges that Board Chairman and CFO Brett Moyer “suspended” Bradley without a Board vote, cut off his email, and then rushed through a defective Sunday meeting, all while a $90–$100 million financing lifeline sat on the table.

On October 30, two days after Bradley asked the Board to consider removing Moyer as CFO, Moyer “suspended” Bradley on his own perceived authority. According to the complaint, no Board meeting was held and no written consent was circulated. This was done despite Datavault’s own Bylaws, which give only the full Board the power to remove officers.

The lawsuit further alleges that Moyer and certain unnamed directors shut Bradley out one day after he brought the company a $90–$100 million funding offer that could have substantially improved its financial position. Rather than present the offer, Moyer “suppressed, withheld and concealed” it from the company’s independent directors.

Last night, Bradley released the following statement:

“While I remain confident in Datavault AI’s technology, product offerings, and patent-protected innovations, I strongly dispute the legal validity of the Board’s decision to remove me as President and Chief Executive Officer.

“During my tenure, we increased revenue by more than 1,300% in my first year, alongside record trading volumes, and built the foundation for continued growth. We assembled a portfolio of more than

100 patents and pending applications, including newly issued U.S. patents in data valuation, tokenization, and wireless audio. We launched the Information Data Exchange, NIL Vault, and American Political Exchange, and signed licensing and tokenization agreements that bring real-world assets, from carbon credits to gold, copper, and geothermal energy, onto our platforms. We also completed strategic acquisitions, including API Media Innovations, that expanded our reach into digital twins, sports, and live events. We broadened our strategic partnership network, including with IBM,

ServiceNow, and the Department of Energy, and recruited industry-leading talent to the Datavault cause.

“Innovators are often targeted, and I intend to protect my rights and the interests of the Company and its shareholders. I believe the Board’s action jeopardizes the Company’s ability to realize its full potential.”

Jacob Frenkel, Bradley’s lead counsel and a former SEC enforcement lawyer and federal prosecutor, said:

“The company’s groundbreaking and cutting-edge technologies are a function of Mr. Bradley’s brilliance and vision. As a corporate leader, Mr. Bradley has a long-standing commitment to best practices in corporate governance.”

Mr. Bradley puts his investors first. When you’re out building and innovating and those you think you can trust decide to stage a corporate coup, the only place for relief is in court. Mr. Bradley will continue to fight for the shareholders and against those who put their own interests ahead of the company’s stakeholders.”
