Axelar Interchain Amplifier’s Integration With Rollkit Streamlines the Creation of Interoperable Rollups, Making it as Simple as Developing any Smart Contract​

The Axelar Foundation today announced an integration with Celestia Labs that will make multichain interoperability easy for sovereign blockchains built with Celestia’s Rollkit, the first sovereign rollup framework. This integration will advance the modular thesis, simplifying multichain development for thousands of new blockchains.

Celestia is the first modular blockchain network, envisioning a future with 1 million rollups. Scaling Web3 to this level with great user experience requires smart-contract capability at the cross-chain layer. Integration of Rollkit and Axelar Interchain Amplifier puts this capability into builders’ hands by introducing new interoperability toolkits that easily connect any new rollup across EVM, Cosmos, Bitcoin, Polkadot and beyond, via Axelar’s growing network of connected chains.

Making rollups interoperable across the wider web3 ecosystem

“Opportunities are emerging rapidly in new ecosystems – we’re not far from a future where one in four transactions will be cross-chain,” said Axelar Foundation co-founder and director Georgios Vlachos. “Celestia has laid out the modular vision for accelerating this path to scaling Web3. Axelar Interchain Amplifier will empower applications to make those transactions seamless for their users, no matter what blockchain they build on.”

Rollkit is the modular framework for creating rollups as sovereign chains. Serving as a community-led public good that empowers developers to forge independent communities around diverse applications, Rollkit provides the flexibility to deploy across a modular stack, facilitating rapid innovation.

Axelar network, the Web3 interoperability platform, is set to enhance Rollkit via the integration of Interchain Amplifier. Built on the Axelar Virtual Machine, Amplifier makes new-chain integrations permissionless and easy, automating routing and translation across Axelar’s expansive network, which today numbers 60+ interconnected chains.

Interop Labs, the initial developer of Axelar network, will build the necessary smart contracts and tooling to effect the integration of Interchain Amplifier as a seamless interoperability path for builders developing on Rollkit. Any mainnet upgrades to Axelar network are subject to an on-chain vote, as are future new-chain connections that may be added via Rollkit, once the integration of Amplifier into Rollkit is complete.
