Good Infra doesn't sleep. Neither does Axelar.
@cygaardeci gives us a great rundown about the key initiatives for Axelar these last few weeks ☕️ 📖
Axelar in April: Building the backbone of Interchain Web3
While the market continues to drift, @axelar is quietly doing what few in crypto do well: delivering infrastructure that works.
April brought serious upgrades, integrations, and a clear signal: Axelar isn’t just a bridge.
It’s becoming the interchain layer of the new internet!
1. Cobalt Upgrade
Cobalt (v1.2.1) is now live. 98% of all $AXL gas fees are burned.
Verifiers of new chain connections are now paid from existing AXL pools (no inflation).
➜ Result: sustainable, deflationary model as usage scales.
➜ Upcoming integrations: Solana, Stellar, TON, XRP, Monad.
“We’re tokenizing interoperability.”
– Georgios Vlachos, Axelar Foundation
2. BTCFi Arrives: Axelar x Babylon = Unlocked $1.85T
▸ @babylonlabs_io brings BTC staking across 70+ chains via Axelar + SquidRouter.
▸ @squidrouter now routes $1.5B+ in volume with 350K+ users.
$BABY tokens, EtherFi, Tower, Kinza > all now bridge BTCFi through Axelar.
BTC no longer sits idle.
It's moving, earning, and flowing across chains.
3. XRPL, TON, Filecoin
▸ XRPL’s EVM sidechain connects to 70+ ecosystems via Axelar.
▸ @ton_blockchain (Telegram) apps can now access DeFi and RWAs cross-chain.
▸ @Filecoin integration enables cross-chain data storage and DePIN use cases.
Axelar is quietly becoming the universal gateway across Web3 verticals.
4. Mobius Dev Stack
Axelar’s Mobius Stack now powers:
+ Cross-chain NFT royalties
+ Multichain liquidity DEXs
+ RWA tokenization (real estate, IP, commodities)
+ Enterprise bridges between private/public chains
MDS makes “cross-chain” feel like Web2. It’s seamless.
5. Institutional Nod
▸ Recognized as a solution to liquidity fragmentation
▸ Built for real-world tokenization, not just DeFi
▸ Public, decentralized, and governance-aligned via $AXL
6. Axelar Collectives S2
▸ Creator-driven growth with art, research, and storytelling
▸ Building mindshare alongside tech
S2 now live: open for artists and contributors
Conclusion
Most chains want liquidity. Axelar routes it.
Most bridges chase fees. Axelar burns them.
Most networks isolate. Axelar connects.
As chains multiply, interchain UX must disappear. Axelar is making that happen.
Quietly. Consistently. And with conviction.
