🚨JUST IN: AXELAR INTEGRATES SOLANA FOR CROSS-CHAIN CONNECTIVITY
@Axelar has officially integrated with @solana on testnet, marking a major step toward seamless cross-chain interoperability.
Developers can now begin building applications that communicate between Solana and Axelar’s network of over 60 connected blockchains.
This infrastructure allows for the secure transfer of assets and data without relying on fragmented liquidity pools or centralized bridges.
New integration joining Axelar Network is @solana.
Now live on testnet.
Enabling Solana applications to connect with users, assets, and liquidity from external chains. Start exploring the integration.
Solana linking up with @axelar feels like one of those upgrades the whole community needed, even if we didn’t realize it at first, @solana can reach 60+ chains with real cross-chain messaging which opens doors for better apps, smoother UX and more liquidity flowing in from everywhere.

Canary Capital CEO: “I had a call this morning with the Axelar team… I got assurances that the actual team that builds a lot of that is still there, and a couple of people that moved on are still supporting the network.”

Interop Labs remains heavily involved in developing @axelar. Latest development updates:
• Scripts to reduce stale chains
• Migration of the P2P token to the ITS Hub
• Contract role transfers
• Chain Codec contract
• ARC integration on stagenet/testnet
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.
