Axelar Ecosystem

News and insight on projects taking the shortest path to scale with @axelar.

[k4m4 @nikolaskama]

Tune in tomorrow for an X space hosted by the one and only @Vet_X0!

@dionyziz and I will chat with Vet about the @CommonPrefix origin story, @axelar’s new era, our work with @RippleXDev, the roadmap ahead, and more!

[FULLPORT @FullportFinance]

As Interop Labs transitions through an acquisition, we’ve made the decision to wind down Fullport and refocus efforts on the core Axelar technical stack now being advanced by @commonprefix.

What to expect moving forward:

- Spot & perp trading will continue directly on Hyperliquid
- Unclaimed Fullport rewards can be claimed via https://t.co/4nZ5dZAXtl
- The Fullport app will be deprecated by Dec. 26, 2025 at 5pm PST

Thank you to everyone who supported Fullport 💙

[Axelar Network @axelar]

Axelar isn’t slowing down, it’s entering its next phase as open-source infrastructure for onchain finance.

@CommonPrefix is stepping into a lead stewardship role for Axelar, with a clear roadmap, deep technical credibility + long-term commitment to the network. 🧵👇

[Common Prefix @CommonPrefix]

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.

[Axelar Foundation @AxelarFDN]

The @interop_labs team has signed an agreement to join @circle. The Foundation thanks Interop Labs for its contributions to the network over the years.

The Axelar Network, Foundation, and AXL token remain fully independent. Axelar Foundation is welcoming @CommonPrefix, a leading network contributor, to take over Interop Labs activities and lead development of the network following the closing.

The Axelar Network is the most open-source and non-custodial interoperability network in existence today. We look forward to continuing to build alongside a tremendous ecosystem of builders.

[Alvara @AlvaraProtocol]

November was a fruitful month for Alvara!

New BSKTs minted, governance went live, ALVA on base, lots of gBSKTS and more! Let’s take a look into how things went:
→ Total BSKTs minted: 106
→ Total TVL (in ETH): 53
→ ALVA expanded to Base, powered by @squidrouter and @axelar
→ Launched the Phase 1 of our governance allowing basketoors to propose Alpha BSKTs
→ Finalized the Liquidity Expansion Layer, now sent for security audit 👀
→ Intern’s community stats: 387 gBSKTs 🧺

Our Liquidity Expansion Layer is almost live enabling anyone to launch a basket using any asset available on Uniswap v3.
This update will mark the beginning of an exciting new phase:
BSKT Lab expansion, community activations and a lot of fun.

Building at the forefront of the asset management sector wouldn’t have been possible without every single one of you basketoors.
Thank you for being here with us.

Going into 2026, the mission is clear:
ERC-7621 will become the standard for tokenized baskets.

[Axelar Network Status @Axl_Status]

A proposal (https://t.co/9VIAGf8891) to upgrade the Axelar Network to v1.3.2 is now live. If approved (subject to onchain governance), it will cause an upgrade starting on Dec 8 at approximately 2pm UTC. The upgrade will bring block times down from 5 seconds to below 2 seconds.

See the changelog (https://t.co/APdU6nDQHD) for more details.

The upgrade is expected to last approximately 3 hours. During this time, the Axelar Network, token transfers + General Message Passing will not be available. All GMP calls initiated during the upgrade will be delivered once the upgrade has been completed.
