How Uniswap used Axelar to deploy securely on Filecoin Virtual Machine

This repository showcases an example of integrating with Axelar’s General Message Passing using the Foundry framework.

Intents are live on Axelar network

Interoperability has been a pillar, supporting Ethereum’s success as an ecosystem; How do we preserve these user experiences and developer superpowers as Ethereum scales across connected blockchains?

In this post, we'll refine the concepts of cross-chain and multichain – and add a third, interchain, defining a new view on blockchain interoperability, going beyond tribalism to establish Web3 as a universal development environment

Sushi is among the first to deploy Interchain Tokens, powered by a new Axelar product suite for cross-chain fungibility and custom functionality

Decentralization used to be a cherished principle, it’s now a competitive necessity

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Now, bridges and other cross-chain dApps can make it simple for users to send native EVM assets cross-chain.

Quadratic voting increases decentralization and makes networks secure in dPoS, DAOs and other setups, too.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

General Message Passing (GMP) goes beyond cross-chain bridges, revolutionizing blockchain application development and ushering in the Web3 'super app.'

This article first appeared in VentureBeat as a contributed article by Sergey Gorbunov and Galen

Each April, U.S. crypto investors lose hair and sleep, trying to untangle crypto transactions for the IRS. It’s complicated for anyone using DeFi protocols. For those who have moved assets cross-chain, taxes can be an order of magnitude more complex.

Axelar is a blockchain that connects blockchains, offering robust cross-chain communication and establishing an "internet of blockchains" as a universal development platform

In the last post, we discussed the existing blockchain interoperability landscape and looked at the core principles of network interconnectivity developed by Cerf and Kahn during the evolution of the Internet.

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