Add interoperability to your dApp

Now, dApps can communicate across chains using Turing-complete calls and messages on a permissionless Proof-of-Stake transport layer.

Universal Asset Transfer

Send your tokens across-chain via any wallet, CEX.

How Axelar Works

Beyond bridges

Axelar goes far beyond sending wrapped assets with General Message Passing, which carries any payload securely cross-chain. Applications can call any function on any connected chain, and deliver a one-click experience for users on any other connected chain. This is a new kind of dApp development that puts users first and lets developers build on the platform best suited to their use case.

Secure cross-chain communication

Cross-chain communication is easy. Secure cross-chain communication is hard. Most solutions today are permissioned multisigs, based on proof-of-authority, which has lost hundreds of millions in security exploits. Axelar network security is based on delegated proof-of-stake: a permissionless, dynamic validator set applies a consensus approach that is similar to the networks Axelar connects.

Build via API

Atop of the Axelar stack sits an application-development layer, used to compose across any number of chains. Developers go cross-chain without new programming languages or added complexity. They focus on building the functionality that differentiates their dApp.

Use cases

A new generation of decentralized super apps will break down silos and span Web3. Native cross-chain dApps go way beyond bridges.

Composable liquidity

Create a cross-chain DEX or AMM that connects liquidity from multiple chains.

Cross-chain governance

DAOs can coordinate activity anywhere on Web3.

Cross-chain NFTs

DeFi: use NFTs as collateral on other chains. Gaming: any asset, anywhere, becomes currency or credential.
