Axelar Integrates Solana Mainnet

Axelar has integrated Solana. The integration is now live on mainnet, enabling cross-chain message passing and asset transfers between Solana and Axelar-supported chains, including Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Sui, Stellar, Hedera, and 70+ more ecosystems.

Following recent integrations with Stellar and Hedera, Solana is the next major ecosystem connected to Axelar’s interoperability infrastructure. The integration expands Axelar’s support across different execution environments and gives developers, asset issuers, and protocols a secure and reliable way to connect Solana with the broader multichain world.

What the Integration Enables

Solana is one of the most vibrant blockchain ecosystems in Web3, with a growing application layer across DeFi, payments, tokenization, and consumer use cases. With Solana connected through Axelar, applications can combine Solana’s speed, low transaction costs, and active application ecosystem with Axelar’s interoperability infrastructure. The result is new optionality for applications that want to reach broader liquidity, expand user access across chains, and build multichain products that connect Solana with the wider ecosystems.

Ecosystem Partners Expanding to Solana

The Solana integration launches with day-one ecosystem use cases that demonstrate how Axelar can help bring assets and applications into the Solana ecosystem.

Stronghold is a payments infrastructure platform that enables access to both legacy and next-generation financial services, with $SHx serving as its native utility token. Through Axelar's integration with Solana, Stronghold can now extend SHx reach to Solana and gain access to a broader ecosystem of users, builders, and liquidity opportunities beyond the Stellar ecosystem.

SaucerSwap is a leading decentralized exchange on Hedera, providing trading and liquidity infrastructure optimized for efficient execution and low fees. With Axelar connecting Solana, SaucerSwap can support assets from Solana and other connected blockchains and bring them into Hedera-based trading and liquidity pools. The integration also opens a new path for $SAUCE to extend beyond its native environment into the Solana ecosystem.

How to Access Solana Through Axelar

Solana is now connected to Axelar and can be accessed through:

• Axelar’s new bridging interface: Users can move assets to and from Solana directly through Axelar’s interface.
• Squid: Users and developers can access Solana through Squid, a cross-chain routing and liquidity layer built on Axelar that enables seamless asset transfers across ecosystems.

Moreover, developers can now start building cross-chain applications with Solana: Send & receive messages across chains | Interchain Token Transfers | Full documentation
