Crypto/Web3 has a fundamental problem: Building and navigating across chains is a nightmare: • Different wallets • Different liquidity • Different Virtual Machines. To scale beyond, we need to unify Web3: Here's how @axelar's Interchain Amplifier breaks this model and helps us scale tokenization and other verticals: Imagine 100+ thriving cities. Each city has its own unique economy, language, and set of rules, but there are no highways connecting them. To move goods, you rely on expensive, slow transportation methods. And if something goes wrong in transit? Your assets could disappear forever. This is today's blockchain landscape... • Users must navigate complex bridges • Builders must choose one chain or build the same app multiple times • Liquidity gets trapped in individual chains This fragmentation isn't just inconvenient, it's a fundamental barrier to growth. The problem worsens as the number of chains increases. Connecting N chains traditionally requires N² connections. With 100s of blockchains, that's 10,000+ individual bridges. Each one becomes a potential security vulnerability. To address this issue, @interop_labs developed the Interchain Amplifier. The Interchain Amplifier is a permission-less smart contract system that lets developers connect any blockchain to the @axelar network. Once connected, that chain gains instant access to every other chain in the network via the Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM). Instead of building direct bridges between all chains, which creates security risks and inefficiency, each chain connects just once to the Axelar network via AVM. This creates a unified infrastructure layer that sits beneath the apps and blockchains. Developers can deploy a set of smart contracts to integrate their blockchain. These contracts must implement Axelar's Cross-Chain Gateway Protocol. Then, Axelar's decentralized network of validators enables secure communication across numerous chains. The amplifier also introduces a new token utility to the @axelar network -- instead of the legacy inflationary model to add more chains, each connection must explicitly fund a reward pool of AXL to incentivize verifiers. You can see the existing pools at The interchain amplifier operates on a decentralized governance process: The Amplifier Advisory Committee evaluates potential new chain integrations. It includes technical experts from organizations like @CommonPrefix, @AckeeBlockchain, and @Nodemonste to ensure each integration meets strict security standards. For developers, this dramatically simplifies building Web3 applications as they can save time and resources by building once and reaching users across all chains. The use case for interchain connectivity spans the entire Web3 ecosystem. We need: • Multi-chain Oracle networks • Multi-chain NFT marketplaces • Cross-chain gaming apps • Interoperable stablecoins Chains like @SuiNetwork, @StellarOrg, @XRPLLabs are already connecting using the Interchain Amplifier. For users, this creates true "chain abstraction," meaning they only interact with applications, not blockchains. They would get: • Simple, consistent experiences across all chains • Access to more features and liquidity • Better security through standardized protocols With 77 connected chains and growing, amplifier will help unify web3 ( With it, the technical complexity for both users and developers is greatly reduced.
