Axelar

Uniswap

Vertex Protocol

<p>New York, USA, December 12th, 2023, Chainwire</p>
<p>The top derivatives DEXs and spot DEXs are now all using Axelar network for cross-chain connections</p>
<p>Vertex Protocol, one of the most innovative and fast-growing DEXs in Web3, is now using Axelar network and Squid to power cross-chain collateral deposits. The integration was announced today on Twitter.</p>
<p>Vertex has grown rapidly to become the second-largest (and, on some days the largest) derivatives DEX by volume – by a wide margin.</p>
<blockquote>
 <p>“With this integration, the top two derivatives DEXs by volume and the top two spot DEXs by volume are all using Axelar network for cross-chain connections," said Georgios Vlachos, Director of Axelar Foundation. "The level of adoption shows the utility of Axelar network for DEXs that are building seamless UX for mass adoption."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In each category, DEXs going cross-chain with Axelar network handle more than half the total 24h market volume on any given day.</p>
<ul>
 <li>Spot DEXs: Uniswap and Pancakeswap.</li>
 <li>Derivatives DEXs: dYdX and Vertex Protocol.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="why-dexs-are-going-cross-chain">Why DEXs are going cross-chain</h2>
<blockquote>
 <p>“Cross-chain deposits simplify the multi-step bridging process into one transaction for Vertex Protocol users,” said Vertex Protocol co-founder Alwin Peng. "Axelar’s technology is helping us to improve what we already believe is a best-in-class experience to make it even more versatile and adaptive."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Leaders like dYdX, Pancakeswap, Uniswap and Vertex haven’t grown due to their cross-chain strategy. They perfected product-market fit on a single chain. For dYdX and Uniswap, it was Ethereum; for Pancakeswap, it was BNBChain; for Vertex, it was Arbitrum.</p>
<p>Having built their core offering on one chain, the opportunity to expand – and to develop better products for their users – lies in a cross-chain direction. It’s no coincidence that all the leaders in the DEX category are moving in this direction.</p>
<h2 id="axelar-s-features">Axelar's Features:</h2>
<p>Top DEXs are going cross-chain, and some of them are choosing Axelar network. Here is a rundown of the top features:</p>
<h3 id="1-security">1. Security</h3>
<p>The<a href="https://www.notion.so/0c8477afadce425abac9c0bd175ca382?pvs=21" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Uniswap Bridge Assessment Report</a> is the most thorough and objective research on the cross-chain space, to date: “Axelar's technology stack is built to high standards and the team maintains good development practices with strong attention to detail and high activity levels for ongoing improvements.”</p>
<p>Among major cross-chain networks, only Axelar network provides:</p>
<ul>
 <li><a href="https://axelar.network/blog/security-at-axelar-core" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Proof-of-stake security</a>, the same consensus approach as the chains it connects.</li>
 <li>A<a href="https://axelarscan.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> diverse and dynamic validator set</a> – 75 at this writing, the largest in cross-chain.</li>
 <li><a href="https://axelar.network/blog/hub-and-spoke-architecture" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hub-and-spoke network architecture</a> to preserve liveness during emergencies.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="2-scalability">2. Scalability</h3>
<p>Axelar network connects more blockchains than any other cross-chain solution – and the gap is about to widen.</p>
<p>A recent<a href="https://twitter.com/BinanceResearch/status/1727648361929732224" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Binance Research report</a> on interoperability reviewed the top four cross-chain networks, including Axelar network. Combined, these four connect 60 blockchains, the report found. Axelar network connects 54 of those 60 chains.</p>
<p>Axelar does not stop there. Only Axelar network has fundamental architecture capable of scaling to hundreds – or even thousands of chains. In anticipation of the coming onrush of Ethereum L2 and L3 blockchains, the Axelar Foundation has<a href="https://community.axelar.network/t/streamlining-l2-integrations/2513" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> laid out in a governance proposal</a> recommendations for adjusting network tokenomics and proposing a technical path to make new-chain connections permissionless.</p>
<h3 id="3-programmable">3. Programmable</h3>
<p>Among the top interoperability providers, only Axelar network is a blockchain connecting blockchains. This means only Axelar network is capable of running smart-contract logic in the cross-chain layer.</p>
<p>For DEXs like dYdX and Vertex that are relying on Axelar network and Squid to provide seamless, one-click onramps, nothing less than this would be adequate. Now, users from any of the 50+ chains Axelar network connects can quickly deposit collateral on these venues – with one click.</p>
<p>Here are two ways Axelar network programmability enables one-click, seamless experiences for Web3 users:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Gas-token abstraction:<a href="https://docs.axelar.dev/dev/general-message-passing/gas-services/intro" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> automated gas-token conversions</a>, so users don’t need to hold multiple gas tokens to transact cross-chain.</li>
 <li>Fast finality: cross-chain transactions can lag for dozens of minutes, as validators wait for finality on the source chain, before authorizing action on the destination chain. Fast-finality gadgets like Squid Boost use<a href="https://axelar.network/blog/cross-chain-intents" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> cross-chain intents</a> and cut that wait time down to seconds!</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="build-with-axelar">Build with Axelar</h2>
<p>If you want to follow in the footsteps of the top DEXs, the path is simple. Axelar has a straightforward API and a powerful SDK designed to make developers’ cross-chain life simple.</p>
