OVERVIEW

What Axelar does

Axelar is a programmable interoperability network used to pass messages and assets between supported blockchains. Its network supports XRP Ledger connections and provides connectivity for the XRPL EVM sidechain. Interoperability expands where assets and applications can move. It does not prove that every cross-chain transfer uses native XRP or that connected-network activity translates directly into XRP demand.
