Axelar’s track challenged hackers to use General Message Passing (GMP) to build an interchain-native application

When connected chains fail, network architecture can mean the difference between staying safe & liquid — and losing funds in a cross-chain meltdown

Total value locked' is fine for bridges; cross-chain-native interoperability requires other metrics

This guide introduces the Avalanche (AVAX) bridge and dives into the process of bridging into Avalanche, discussing the benefits and mechanisms of different cross-chain solutions.

Following a grant from the Avalanche-X program, Axelar and Avalanche are joining forces to realize the shared vision of decentralized interoperability.

We are now excited to announce Axelar’s first NFT staking program! Here’s what the program will look like.

Everyday, we browse websites and interact with different content from dozens of servers, networks, and geographic locations.

Cosmostation supports Axelar, allowing you to send, receive, store and stake the AXL token from the wallet of your choice.

In advance of our mainnet launch in February, we held an AMA on Twitter with Pangolin Exchange.

Axelar is the universal overlay network, securely connecting all blockchain ecosystems, applications, assets and users to deliver Web3 interoperability.

One month ago Axelar announced that the signups for the incentivized testnet had opened, to incredible support from the community. We appreciate the overwhelming interest in Axelar and wanted to thank everyone who signed up!

In order to achieve the reality of an interconnected blockchain, Axelar works closely with various Cosmos chains to provide Cosmos-EVM cross-chain capabilities and link other non-IBC ecosystems to Cosmos-interconnected chains.

Prime Protocol does cross-chain DeFi lending with native assets, using Axelar GMP, allowing users to aggregate all their assets as collateral.

Sommelier is a leading example: the Cosmos-based protocol for intelligent vaults announced today it is building connections to Arbitrum using Axelar GMP.

Through Start Path Crypto, Axelar will strengthen our relationship with Mastercard, jointly developing access to Mastercard’s channels and customers, subject-matter expertise and opportunities for technical collaboration.

Elon Musk has a vision to turn Twitter into an all-in-one app, like WeChat. Turns out, permissionless and composable crypto platforms together form something better than the sum of its parts.

Cross-chain liquidity is imperative in building the future of Web3, but how do we achieve it?

Five projects graduated from the world’s first cross-chain accelerator, run by LongHashX in partnership with Axelar, after 12 intense weeks of venture building and mentorship.

Junkyard players throw their worthless NFTs into a smart contract on Ethereum. Junkyard uses Polygon to run a game that lets them "fish" the pile for rare NFTs. Axelar provides the secure connector.

A one-time deposit address allows decentralized projects to mimic the way centralized exchanges are able to handle deposits from any chain, by creating a monitored address for receiving tokens.

Blockchain interoperability is exceedingly important for DeFi to scale. Axelar's General Message Passing (GMP) capabilities help protocols and applications go cross-chain.

Cross-chain DEXs are thriving as they offer a seamless experience. With General Message Passing (GMP), Axelar is powering up the next-gen cross-chain DEXs.

Build with Axelar Virtual Machine: Interchain Maestro - orchestration, like Kubernetes for Web3; and Interchain Amplifier – self-service new-chain connections.

Applications and use cases on the decentralized web are further developed than

Axelar network today provides bulletproof security for cross-chain communication, but more projects connecting means more specialized needs, including the ability to adopt new security approaches as they emerge.

A permissionless, dynamic validator set controls validation of cross-chain transactions on Axelar network, and also governs most network parameters.

As most blockchains operate independently, cross-chain swaps become crucial to enable users to be a part of an engaging Web3 ecosystem.

Cross-chain is hard, but Osmosis makes it easy.
