Even though cross-chain bridges have gained immense popularity, are they the ideal interoperability solution for a cross-chain future?

Axelar wraps up and reviews its first year on mainnet, and looks ahead to what's to come on the network that is pioneering interchain infrastructure.

Here's how to bridge into Cosmos with $USDC from Polygon to Osmosis. On Osmosis, you can swap your $USDC for any token native to the Cosmos to take the first step in your exploration.

The next wave of crypto adoption, whenever it may come, won’t be left to centralized “Web2” applications.

Cross-chain function calls on Axelar allow applications to interoperate without moving assets.

The Axelar accelerator and grant programs help teams build applications that onboard users as easily as any centralized exchange.

Axelar’s month in review: new chains, new dApps + AMAs with multi-chain builders and tutorials for devs.

Satellite gas fees, explained: In this post, we explain cross-chain gas costs, where they are charged, how they are estimated — and how Axelar keeps cross-chain gas payment complexities in the background for users.

Developers can tap into powerful, composable SDK modules to onboard users, control gas fees, and bundle transactions easily, among other UX benefits.

Axelar is one of the early adopters of Polygon Supernets which will expand the interoperability of Polygon Supernets — high-performance app-specific chains that can be optimized for a dApp or a category of dApps.

Combining Axelar with the recently announced Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) by Circle, we plan to unlock seamless Web3 user experiences to make blockchain technology accessible to billions of users.

The Interop Summit is blockchain’s first-ever universal gathering point for builders creating dApps that span Web3.

Interoperability between blockchains is vital for a truly cross-chain experience. But do we have the ideal infrastructure for a truly cross-chain experience?

Squid is a protocol that enables cross-chain liquidity routing and swaps through a single Javascript software development kit (SDK).

Axelar has issued ERC-20 versions of the AXL token to EVM chains, e.g. Ethereum, Avalanche. After you obtain these tokens by providing an EVM chain address where the tokens can be sent, you can view your AXL tokens within your MetaMask Wallet.

AXL is a chain-agnostic token, meaning it can be represented on various chains. The ERC-20-compatible version of AXL, used on EVM chains, is called wAXL. This tutorial shows how to convert

Coinbase Cloud will join a list of top-tier validators supporting the Axelar network. AXL tokenholders will be able to stake AXL to Coinbase Cloud’s public validator, and help secure a network that is building the cross-chain future.

With AXL token release schedules beginning today, the Axelar network reaches a new level of decentralization, and establishes itself as the most secure and richly featured cross-chain network available.

“In order to reach the next billion end users, Web3 needs to onboard millions of developers. Mysten Labs is paving the way for that with an asset-oriented programming language and a developer-friendly environment”

This AXL token FAQ covers tokenholders who acquired the AXL token via various paths, including the community sale conducted via CoinList in March.

The Axelar Grant Program has become a focal point for investors, developers and partners interested in the cutting edge of Web3 interoperability and cross-chain development.

This post explains, briefly, how the AXL token is represented as an ERC-20 compatible token on Ethereum-Virtual-Machine (EVM) chains.

Anchorage Digital is seeing a growing demand among its institutional clients to expand their crypto portfolios to include new, promising protocols and view Axelar as a unique opportunity to do just that from day one.

Security is a multidimensional problem with binary outcomes. Defining the security of a system is an incredibly complex task, but with rigorous models, designs and engineering practices, we can build systems that stand up to the worst attacks.

The security benefits of quadratic voting have been discussed by blockchain industry leaders including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. However, few have implemented it.

There are many upcoming events and opportunities to get connected with the Axelar community, beginning with Friday's Community Call, where we'll welcome a new ecosystem partner, Squid, that is emerging as a key enabler for deFi dApps on Axelr.

As 2021 comes to a close, this month’s newsletter recaps key milestones from the year and shares some of the latest updates from the Axelar team.

Last week, a dozen members of the Axelar team traveled from across the globe to meet in Toronto, Canada for 10 days of intense development.

Axelar is excited to announce the launch of the Axelar Academy: a community driven and curated educational hub! The Axelar Academy was built to act as a knowledge base covering all aspects of the network.

Axelar is excited to announce a partnership with Metrika to empower Axelar’s community with operational intelligence tools.

Over a year of hard work by the team and our partners has gone into developing the network. While we are just getting started, this is a major milestone that we are incredibly excited to share.

As we begin to bring greater cross-chain interoperability to the blockchain space, one of our early initiatives is the simple transfer of assets across chains.

Axelar recently announced a new member of the team to help power the cross-chain future of Web3: The Axelar Robot.

Axelar’s interoperability protocol will power a new cross-chain DEX and money market, unlocking new capabilities for AURORA, NEAR, and USN holders.

This article offers some initial architecture design choices when composing applications cross-chain and explores the kinds of functionality that can be built using each.

Axelar takes BNB cross-chain.
