On Tuesday, the Hedera team announced via a blog post that Axelar has integrated Hedera, giving developers and users across onchain finance seamless access to Hedera technology, applications, and liquidity through a single programmable interface.
The connection enables secure cross-chain transfers and contract calls between Hedera and dozens of blockchains supported by Axelar, providing a common foundation for institutional-grade onchain products.
At launch, SaucerSwap and Squid are already leveraging the Hedera integration to extend cross-chain liquidity, access, and execution.
As more developers launch new assets, liquidity venues and real-world-asset applications on Hedera, non-custodial interoperability becomes essential. Through Axelar’s programmable interoperability, Hedera developers can now reach users and capital on dozens of connected blockchains, while builders already plugged into the Axelar ecosystem gain access to Hedera’s performance profile and council-governed network environment.
As part of this focus, Axelar is doubling down on a set of strategically important institutional ecosystems, prioritizing connections that drive meaningful adoption and long-term value. Connecting Hedera through Axelar reflects this direction, enabling builders to pair Hedera’s execution strengths with Axelar’s interoperability to deploy scalable, transparent, and compliant onchain products across networks.
Together, Axelar and Hedera deliver what institutions increasingly expect from onchain finance: secure connectivity, transparent settlement, and the ability to deploy products across multiple networks without fragmentation.
Hedera Hashgraph is a distributed public ledger infrastructure. According to the team, it offers significant improvements over existing blockchains in five areas: performance, security, governance, stability, and regulatory compliance. HBAR is trading at $0.09714 at press time, up 3.3% over the last 24 hours.
