Axelar is for developers

Axelar is the transport layer for web3.
It consists of:

Permissionless Proof-of-Stake network.
Cross-chain protocols.
Gateways (often smart contracts) on connected chains.

Cross-chain communication

Axelar already connects more than 10 blockchains.
A complete view of connected chains is available via the following resources:

New EVM and IBC-compatible chains can be connected in a process that takes less than 10 minutes.

Network architecture

Axelar network gateways, installed on each connected chain, are controlled by validators that run Axelar’s cross-chain routing and translation protocols and vote to authenticate transactions.

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.

Universal asset transfer

GetDepositAddress(src chain, dst chain, asset, dst address)

General Message Passing

Send any payload with a single smart contract call.

General message passing

function callContract(
    string memory destinationChain,
    string memory destinationContractAddress,
    bytes memory payload
)

Get involved in the Axelar community

Axelar network is built on the same system of incentives and security that powered the rise of new Layer 1 application platforms.

Axelar Grant Program

The Axelar developer grant program aims to accelerate the development of a new generation of super apps that compose liquidity, functions, assets and user networks across Web3.
