Axelar is excited to announce a partnership with Pangolin, a decentralized exchange (DEX) for Avalanche and Ethereum assets. Axelar’s advanced infrastructure will allow Pangolin to access assets from major Layer 1s including the Cosmos Hub, Terra, Bitcoin and more. This integration will enable Pangolin to support deep liquidity pools for new trading pairs like ATOM/UST, thus bootstrapping the use of these assets in Avalanche’s booming DeFi ecosystem.

“We are looking forward to partnering with Pangolin to bring new assets and trading options to the platform, and expanding the Axelar network into decentralized exchanges,” said Sergey Gorbunov, co-founder and CEO of Axelar. “Avalanche offers both a strong network and community and we are excited for Pangolin to join the Axelar ecosystem.”

Axelar’s direct integration with the Pangolin DEX means that users of the platform won’t have to rely on an external bridge, significantly bolstering both security and efficiency. Because of this, Axelar will allow for new assets to be available on the platform much faster without having to build heavy third party solutions, leading to an improved UX and higher tolerance against downtime and attacks.

“We’re very excited to work with the Axelar team. In all our interactions we’ve been impressed with the scope of their vision and the great level of professionalism shown throughout our engagement. Working with world class partners allows us to achieve our vision of a cross-chain world at Pangolin,” said Justin Trollip, Project Manager at Pangolin Exchange.
