Axelar, the full-chain Layer1, published a post on the X platform stating that it will cross-chain interconnect Bitcoin, Hedera and Polkadot ecosystems. Bitcoin L2 network Stacks, Moonriver Network, open source PoS chain Hedera, and privacy network Iron Fish will be the first phase of the Axelar Interchain Amplifier pilot program to achieve one-click programmable interoperability.
The Interchain Amplifier built on the Axelar virtual machine automatically connects any type of blockchain, and the new cross-chain connection is exposed through smart contracts rather than through the protocol layer. Amplifier has been online on Devnet for about a week.
