Axelar adds interoperability to Rollkit, providing interconnectivity for thousands of blockchains built with Celestia below by Chainwire


New York, USA, May 21, 2024, Chainwire

Axelar Interchain Amplifier's integration with Rollkit streamlines the creation of interoperable rollups, making it as simple as developing any smart contract. The Axelar Foundation today announced an integration with Celestia Labs that will facilitate multi-chain interoperability for sovereign blockchains built with Celestia's Rollkit, the first sovereign accrual framework. . This integration will advance the modular thesis, simplifying multi-chain development for thousands of new blockchains.

Celestia is the first modular blockchain network and envisions a future with 1 million accumulations. Scaling Web3 to this level with a great user experience requires smart contract capability at the cross-chain layer. The integration of Rollkit and Axelar Interchain Amplifier puts this capability in the hands of builders by introducing new interoperability toolkits that easily connect any new rollups on EVM, Cosmos and more, across Axelar's growing network of connected chains.

Make rollups interoperable across the web3 ecosystem

“Opportunities in new ecosystems are rapidly emerging; we are not far from a future where one in four transactions will be cross-chain.” said Axelar Foundation co-founder and director Georgios Vlachos. “Celestia has presented the modular vision to accelerate this path to Web3 scaling. “Axelar Interchain Amplifier will allow applications to make those transactions seamless for their users, no matter which blockchain they are based on.”

Rollkit is the modular framework for creating rollups as sovereign chains. Acting as a community-led public good that allows developers to forge independent communities around diverse applications, Rollkit offers the flexibility to be deployed in a modular stack, facilitating rapid innovation.

The Axelar network, the Web3 interoperability platform, is set to enhance Rollkit by integrating Interchain Amplifier. Built on the Axelar virtual machine, Amplifier makes new chain integrations simple and permissionless, automating routing and translation across Axelar's extensive network, which today has more than 60 interconnected chains.

Interop Labs, the initial developer of the Axelar network, will create the tools and smart contracts necessary to effect the integration of Interchain Amplifier as a seamless interoperability path for builders developing on Rollkit. Any mainnet upgrades to the Axelar network are subject to an on-chain vote, as are future new chain connections that may be added via Rollkit, once the Amplifier integration into Rollkit is complete.
