Introduction to Axelar
Axelar is a network designed to enable different blockchains to work together seamlessly. The project focuses on interoperability, allowing for the secure exchange of data and assets between networks that normally operate independently. Instead of improving one specific blockchain, Axelar serves as a connecting layer, enabling developers to build applications that operate across multiple blockchains simultaneously.
