Axelar delivers secure cross-chain communication for Web3, enabling you to build Interchain dApps that grow beyond a single chain. Secure means Axelar is built on proof-of-stake, the battle-tested approach used by Ethereum, Polygon, Sui, Cosmos, and more. Cross-chain communication means you can build a complete experience for your users that lets them interact with any asset, any application, on any chain with one click.

Axelar Virtual Machine

Axelar is unique because it is a Turing-complete interchain network—a programmable interoperability layer. Axelar Virtual Machine supports logic to automate complex interchain tasks, such as connecting new chains or managing interchain dApp deployments.

Beyond Bridges

Apps that integrate Axelar can pass any payload — not just wrapped assets. General Message Passing enables cross-chain function calls, for a more seamless user experience: cross-chain features and functions in a single click.

Security

Security at Axelar begins with proof-of-stake — the same consensus mechanism used by many of the chains Axelar connects. It adds quadratic voting, validator security rules, application-layer safeguards, and rigorous and frequent audits & bug bounties.

Decentralization

The Axelar network is a permissionless and dynamic validator set of nodes running proof-of-stake consensus: anyone can accumulate stake and provide security on the network.
