May 2024 Dev Update: Interchain Amplifier on Devnet, Onboard Your IBC Chain, Farcaster Frame with Axelar GMP  🏗️

Axelar Interchain Amplifier now integrates with Rollkit

The Axelar Foundation has announced an integration with Celestia Labs, simplifying multichain interoperability for sovereign blockchains built with Rollkit, the first sovereign rollup framework. This collaboration supports the modular blockchain vision, enabling seamless multichain development for new blockchains.

This integration of Rollkit and Axelar Interchain Amplifier will introduce interoperability toolkits connecting rollups across EVM, Cosmos, Bitcoin, Polkadot, and beyond. Interop Labs, the initial developer of the Axelar network, will build the necessary smart contracts and tooling to integrate Interchain Amplifier with Rollkit, further advancing Web3 scalability and user experience.
