In this work we propose the design and implementation of a wormhole - a synchronous subsystem - to be appended to an asynchronous system to allow the solution of fault-tolerant distributed problems that otherwise would have no deterministic solution in a pure asynchronous system. The wormhole architecture encompasses basic services such as clock synchronization and node level failure detection, as well as a programming interface that allows the deployment of specialized synchronous services. One of these services is presented to illustrate the use of the wormhole by an application.
