Axelar is a decentralized network and development platform securely connecting the world's blockchains and financial institutions.

Common Prefix is taking the lead stewardship role of Axelar. We are excited to share our plans for 2026, with more details to be announced in Q1.
Our team consists of scientists–professors, PhDs, and post-docs–from world-renowned universities like Stanford, Imperial, ETH Zürich, and University of Edinburgh. But also senior engineers with decades of experience in hedge funds, TradFi, and Web3. We bridge the gap between science and engineering.
We are razor-sharp focused on institutional adoption. For this, we will double down on the ecosystems that matter like XRPL, Sui, Solana, Ethereum, Stellar, and Hyperliquid. We will make sure that supported connections bring value to the ecosystem, and the right incentives for validators.
For institutional, we need increased economic security. We’ll enable co-staking of blue chip tokens beyond just AXL. Privacy, compliance, and robustness will also be a theme for the year.
For bridging, we will remove friction of moving assets from chain to chain by introducing gasless bridging. Subsidies will come from investing capital locked in gateway contracts, creating novel asset classes. Users will always have the choice to act according to their risk appetite.
Lastly, we’re building up-the-stack in select key verticals: stablecoins, tokenized deposits, yield, and lending. A fusion of new chains creates an opportunity for new emerging asset classes.
Developers can now build cross-chain applications on Solana using Axelar's General Message Passing and Interchain Token Service. Start here: https://t.co/Dc5q5E1wA4
Solana is now live on Axelar Mainnet.
The integration enables cross-chain messaging and asset transfers between @Solana and Axelar-supported ecosystems.

Move assets directly through Axelar’s new app.
The initial release supports asset transfers across 9 major blockchain ecosystems, with more chains and features coming on the roadmap.

Upcoming features will include:
-Express transfers for faster cross-chain movement
-API access for developers and ecosystem teams
-Native swap functionality powered by Axelar’s novel intents protocol
-Support for additional Axelar-connected chains, including Solana, Hyperliquid, XRP Ledger, Sui and Stellar
General Message Passing (GMP) app builders still relying on Fantom Opera should also complete any remaining migration or withdrawal steps before 5:00 PM GMT on June 30, 2026.
Reminder for users with ITS tokens on Fantom Opera:
Any remaining ITS tokens should be withdrawn before 5:00 PM GMT on June 30, 2026, as Fantom Opera legacy infrastructure is being sunset.
After the sunset, remaining legacy Opera infrastructure will no longer support further migration from FTM to S.
We've been using AI selectively to improve customer experience in @axelar as we improve reliability in the background. Our goal? The user should know exactly where their money is, at any moment in time, every time.
We're looking for a Business Development Lead at @commonprefix to work on @axelar, XRPL, and many more interesting projects. Must know web3 & interoperability inside out. DM me directly.
Common Prefix is sharing a full breakdown of the exploit of a third-party Safe module called “SquidRouterModule” on May 25, 2026.
The report covers how the attack played out, who was affected, and how funds moved following the incident.

Reminder for users with ITS tokens on Fantom Opera:
Any remaining ITS tokens should be withdrawn before 5:00 PM GMT on June 30, 2026, as Fantom Opera legacy infrastructure is being sunset.
After the sunset, remaining legacy Opera infrastructure will no longer support further migration from FTM to S.
Since launch, Sonic has become the home of the ecosystem - users, builders, liquidity, and validators have all made the move.
With that transition complete, Fantom Opera will be retired on June 30, 2026.
The Fantom Opera network will cease operation at 5:00 PM GMT on June 30, 2026. If you have not migrated your assets, please do so before then. This serves as official notification of the network closure.
The ERC-20 FTM → S route and Sonic Gateway are not affected.
