About Axelar
Axelar powers the inter-blockchain future.
Axelar delivers secure interchain communication. That means decentralized application (dApp) users can interact with any asset, any application, on any chain, with one click. You can think of it as Stripe for Web3.
Powered by a decentralized network of validators, anyone can join the network, build on it, or use it. Apps builders can interact with a simple API atop a permissionless network that routes messages and ensures network security via a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
Axelar has raised capital from top-tier investors, including Binance, Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly Capital, Polychain Capital and others.

Across Protocol
Across offers high speed, low fee interoperability solutions powered by intents. Intents is proving to be a winning solution, as Across dominates the routes its supports, frequently able to provide the cheapest and fastest bridge option.
Across' unique value is that it guarantees genuine, not synthetic, assets are transferred cross-chain. With an Across integration, dapps and blockchains are able to provide their users with best-execution cross-chain settlement, without security tradeoffs.
Across Protocol offers three products built on a modular, intents-based framework. Across Bridge, which offers high speed, low fee token bridging. Across+, a free chain abstraction tool that allows dapps to onboard users, from any chain, in seconds, for cents. Lastly, Across Settlement, which is a settlement layer that dapps can plug into, to execute intents-based order flow.
The future of interoperability are intents, and Across is leading its execution.

Nxt
Nxt is an open source blockchain platform and the first to rely entirely on a proof-of-stake consensus protocol. Launched in November 2013 and written from scratch in Java, Nxt is proof that blockchain technology is not only about simple transfer of value but also has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives with the various decentralized applications that can be built with it. Today, Nxt remains one of the most tested and reliable platforms in the industry, influencing numerous other projects. With its many easy to use modular built-in features, Nxt covers most of the dApp use cases and at the same time is perfectly suitable for private blockchain implementations. Nxt was the first to implement a pure proof-of-stake consensus protocol.

Cosmos
The Internet of Blockchains. Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, built for a decentralized future. Enter a new universe of connected services. Cosmos apps and services connect using IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. This innovation enables you to freely exchange assets and data across sovereign decentralized blockchains. Serving as the economic center of Cosmos, the Cosmos Hub is a blockchain that provides vital services to the Interchain. Set to operate a next-gen decentralized exchange, swapping digital assets from across the Interchain, with very low fees and instant transaction confirmation. With the upcoming Interchain Staking feature, ATOM will soon be securing many chains, in exchange for additional staking rewards. A core mission of the Hub – to connect chains by establishing IBC connections with compatible chains and operating decentralized bridges with chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

LayerZero
LayerZero is an Omnichain Interoperability Protocol designed for lightweight message passing across chains. LayerZero provides authentic and guaranteed message delivery with configurable trustlessness. The protocol is implemented as a set of gas-efficient, non-upgradable smart contracts. When a UA sends a message from chain A to chain B, the message is routed through the endpoint on chain A. The endpoint then notifies the UA specified Oracle and Relayer of the message and it's destination chain. The Oracle forwards the block header to the endpoint on chain B and the Relayer then submits the transaction proof. The proof is validated on the destination chain and the message is forwarded to the destination address.
