Axelar delivers secure interchain communication. That means dApp users can interact with any asset, any application, on any chain, with one click. You can think of it as Stripe for Web3. Developers interact with a simple API atop a permissionless network that routes messages and ensures network security via proof-of-stake consensus.  Axelar is a blockchain that connects blockchains. To do this securely, Axelar network uses proof-of-stake consensus. Network validators produce new blocks, participate in multiparty signing and vote on external chain states. Tokenholders stake the AXL token, delegating tokens to a validator’s staking pool and receiving rewards, minus the validator’s commission.  The AXL token is used for governance and to pay network transaction fees to validators and tokenholders. However, users of the Axelar network do not need to hold the token. Conversions into AXL tokens and destination-chain tokens are handled on the back end, so that users need only pay gas once, in the source-chain token.  Axelar network rewards are “inflationary” — they increase the total supply of AXL — but there is potential for supply to become deflationary based on the transaction fee mechanic described above.

Axelar

Axelar is experiencing a volatile trend driven by community division over the recent acquisition of its original developer team by Circle, sparking fears of an "empty shell" while many "buy the dip."

The collaboration will combine Xanadu’s photonic quantum computing hardware expertise and Thorlabs’ advanced optical component manufacturing capabilities to help address critical challenges in scaling photonic quantum computing systems. Together, the companies can accelerate the production of novel component designs from proof-of-concept to high-volume manufacturing for Xanadu’s scalable hardware.The goal of this collaboration is to develop photonic components that address phase and polarization stability -- key challenges in photonic quantum computing. Maintaining this stability is crucial. Any unwanted drift distorts information encoded in photonic qubits, resulting in computational errors.“We are pleased to work with Thorlabs on addressing this challenge. Their deep expertise and ability to manufacture with high precision, at a high volume, and at a competitive cost makes them an invaluable partner,” said Christian Weedbrook, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Xanadu.Meeting the stability criteria required in many of the sensitive fiber optics that link together key hardware subsystems, while limiting optical loss, will reduce physical qubit overhead and quantum error correction requirements. This resulting capability improves the scalability of Xanadu’s entire system.“The Thorlabs team is proud to support Xanadu’s mission to advance the frontiers of quantum computing technology,” said Peter Fendel, Chief Technology Officer at Thorlabs. “This partnership combines Xanadu’s deep expertise in scalable quantum computing with Thorlabs’ decades of experience in designing and manufacturing photonic components, and subsystems at scale.”This partnership is driven by a shared vision to push the boundaries of photonics technologies. By leveraging Thorlabs' industrial manufacturing scale, Xanadu can continue to develop its utility-scale photonic quantum computer, helping ensure that the critical optical components are ready for the high-volume demands of a quantum data center.Business Combination Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc.
