Axelar Launches MDS Developer Suite: The Ultimate Solution for Interoperability

For the first time in blockchain history, a solution will allow dApps to easily connect with any user and operational logic on the internet while maintaining verification and end-to-end open source properties

With Axelar MDS, the possibilities for blockchain go far beyond simple bridges or oracles. Users can send a message on Telegram to rebalance a vault on Sui, which in turn can interact with DeFi protocols on Arbitrum and private blockchains of financial institutions. This level of integration and interoperability opens up a new world of possibilities for decentralized applications.

Connect once, unlimited possibilities.

The three main components of Axelar MDS are:

Interchain Amplifier:Now on mainnet, this is an easy, permissionless way to connect your chain with the Axelar Network and its supported chains. It enables dynamic, customizable integrations, and chains like Sui, Aptos, and Solana can connect.

Interchain Token Service (ITS):A suite of institutional-grade tokenization tools that completely replaces cross-chain bridges, enabling tokens to be minted and managed on any connected blockchain. With ITS, tokens can be natively transferred across chains while maintaining full functionality and interchangeability.

The Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM) supports Amplifier and ITS to enable smart contract logic at the cross-chain layer.This opens the door to a new generation of multi-chain developer tools and complex dApp scenarios. Ethereum introduced programmable tokens, Axelar introduces programmable interoperability.

Combined with these additional features, Axelar has created the most complete interoperability platform on the market:

Flexible, enhanced economic security: Connectivity to ETH (via EigenLayer) and other exogenous collateral adds an extra layer of customizability to the Interchain Amplifier, which already allows for custom security configurations for new integrations.

Open interoperability interfaces built in partnership with OpenZeppelin and integrated into OpenZeppelin’s leading smart contract library. Developers adopting these open source semantics can plug in any interoperability technology.
