description: Axelar is a decentralized cross-chain communication network that enables secure interoperability across 80+ blockchains
  including EVM chains, Cosmos, Solana, Sui, Stellar, and XRPL. The network provides General Message Passing (GMP) for arbitrary
  cross-chain contract calls, the Interchain Token Service (ITS) for deploying and bridging tokens across chains, and the
  Axelarscan API suite for querying network state, validator metrics, token transfer status, and GMP transaction data. Developer
  tooling includes the AxelarJS SDK, the Mobius Development Stack (MDS), and Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM).

  name: Axelarscan API
  description: Retrieves information about the Axelar network and the AXL token. Provides access to metrics such as circulating
    supply, total supply, inflation, total value locked (TVL) across 80+ chains and 30+ assets, network proposals, and overall
    chain health. Backed by OpenSearch-cached data for sub-second responses on mainnet.

  name: Axelar Validator API
  description: Exposes metrics for validators operating on the Axelar network, including heartbeat status, uptime percentages,
    proposed block counts, voting participation, and quadratic voting scores. Useful for delegators evaluating validator performance
    and for monitoring infrastructure reliability across the 75+ active validators.

  name: Axelar Token Transfer API
  description: Provides insights into cross-chain token transfers executed through the Axelar network. Returns transfer status,
    source and destination chain details, asset denomination, amounts, confirmation counts, and historical transfer statistics.
    Supports both gateway token transfers and Interchain Token Service (ITS) transfers.

  name: Axelar GMP API
  description: Returns information about General Message Passing (GMP) calls routed through the Axelar network. Provides transaction
    status, source and destination chain data, contract call payloads, gas payment status, gas estimation, and recovery details
    for stuck or underfunded cross-chain transactions. Complements the AxelarJS SDK GMP recovery methods.

  name: Axelar Amplifier GMP API
  description: The Amplifier GMP API is the HTTP REST integration layer exposed by the Axelar Amplifier relayer service. External
    chain integrators and relayer operators use it to publish on-chain events (CALL, MESSAGE_EXECUTED, SIGNERS_ROTATED, ITS
    transfer events, etc.) and to poll pending transaction tasks (EXECUTE, APPROVE_MESSAGES, ROTATE_SIGNERS) that must be
    submitted to destination chains. Also supports CosmWasm contract broadcast and query, and large payload pre-storage.

  name: AxelarJS SDK
  description: JavaScript/TypeScript SDK wrapping common cross-chain operations on the Axelar network. Key classes include
    AxelarAssetTransfer (generates deposit addresses for token transfers), AxelarQueryAPI (fee estimation, denom lookups,
    transfer status), and AxelarGMPRecoveryAPI (query GMP transaction status, manual relay, execute destination contract,
    add gas). Supports both MAINNET and TESTNET environments.
