AxelarAXL#402

Axelar connects blockchains so your applications can move seamlessly across chains. Instead of building separate integrations for every network, developers get one API that handles cross-chain messaging and security through proof-of-stake validation. Think of it as the infrastructure layer that lets users interact with any asset or application on any chain without friction. The AXL token secures the network through staking. Validators run nodes, produce blocks, participate in multiparty signing, and vote on external chain states. Token holders delegate AXL to validators and earn rewards minus the validator's commission. You use AXL to pay transaction fees to the network and participate in governance decisions that shape Axelar's direction. Axelar strips away the complexity of interchain communication. Developers work with simple tooling instead of managing multiple bridge integrations. The proof-of-stake model ensures the network stays secure while validators and token holders share in the economics.
