XDEFI Wallet supports Axelar (AXL)

What is Axelar?

Axelar is a decentralised, cross-chain communication protocol designed to connect various blockchain ecosystems effortlessly. It uses a unique combination of technologies, such as threshold cryptography and multi-party computation, to enable seamless communication between blockchains. This innovative approach allows developers to build decentralised applications (dApps) that tap into the power of multiple blockchains, offering users more choice and flexibility.
