Axelar: Cross chain Swaps & Loans
summary
Axelar is a permissionless PoS network connecting 24 chains & 96 projects with a Hub & Spoke model that gives new chains day‑one connectivity. The stack exposes simple APIs and supports arbitrary message passing; live metrics claim 1.3 billion volume and 250k transactions since launch and about 360M IBC volume last month. Demos include a single‑click cross‑chain swap via Osmosis, a multi‑step non‑atomic routed swap, and a cross‑chain lending flow (Prime) that executes across Avalanche, Moonbeam and Phantom.
