Axelar 融资 3500 万美元，为 Cosmos 生态系统带来跨链互操作性

互操作性是区块链成为主流技术的主要障碍，因此能够跨多个链轻松构建和交互非常重要

Blockchain technology has gained immense popularity in recent years, offering a decentralised and secure foundation for various applications. However, achieving interoperability among multiple blockchains has remained a significant challenge. To address this issue, several projects have emerged, aiming to enable seamless communication and asset transferability across different chains.

近年来，区块链技术获得了极大的普及，为各种应用程序提供了去中心化和安全的基础。然而，实现多个区块链之间的互操作性仍然是一个重大挑战。为了解决这个问题，出现了几个项目，旨在实现不同链之间的无缝通信和资产转移。

One notable platform in this domain is Axelar, which provides a decentralised network and tools for developers to easily integrate their applications with multiple blockchains. The platform's mainnet went live in 2022, following two years of development and over $US64 million raised in venture capital funding.

该领域的一个著名平台是 Axelar，它为开发人员提供了去中心化网络和工具，使其可以轻松地将其应用程序与多个区块链集成。经过两年的开发并筹集了超过 6400 万美元的风险投资资金，该平台的主网于 2022 年上线。

At the core of Axelar's functionality is a network of validators, responsible for processing transactions and maintaining the network's security. These validators are incentivised to run nodes for as many supported chains as possible, earning staking rewards based on the number of chains they support.

Axelar 功能的核心是验证器网络，负责处理交易并维护网络的安全。这些验证者被激励为尽可能多的受支持的链运行节点，并根据他们支持的链的数量获得质押奖励。

As the network grows and connects more chains, it becomes increasingly restrictive to require every Axelar validator to run a node for each supported chain. Instead, the project employs a sliding scale of validator requirements, where validators are encouraged to support a diverse range of chains to ensure optimal network coverage.

随着网络的发展并连接更多的链，要求每个 Axelar 验证器为每个支持的链运行一个节点的限制变得越来越严格。相反，该项目采用了验证者要求的浮动范围，鼓励验证者支持各种链，以确保最佳的网络覆盖范围。

To facilitate interactions between applications and multiple blockchains, Axelar utilises a gateway smart contract on each supported chain. These contracts provide an entry and exit point for assets moving on and off the Axelar network, enabling applications to integrate with any supported blockchain via a single integration with Axelar.

为了促进应用程序和多个区块链之间的交互，Axelar 在每个支持的链上利用网关智能合约。这些合约为在 Axelar 网络上进出的资产提供了入口和出口点，使应用程序能够通过与 Axelar 的单一集成来与任何支持的区块链集成。

Furthermore, Axelar's software development kit (SDK) simplifies the process of building applications that can interact with multiple blockchains. The SDK provides a unified interface for developers to access various blockchain functions, such as sending transactions, querying balances, and interacting with smart contracts.

此外，Axelar 的软件开发套件（SDK）简化了构建可与多个区块链交互的应用程序的过程。 SDK为开发者提供了统一的接口来访问各种区块链功能，例如发送交易、查询余额以及与智能合约交互。

By combining the decentralised network, gateway smart contracts, and SDK, Axelar aims to empower application developers with the ability to easily build and interact across multiple chains, ultimately enhancing the accessibility and usability of blockchain technology for both developers and decentralised app (dApp) end-users.

通过结合去中心化网络、网关智能合约和 SDK，Axelar 旨在使应用程序开发人员能够轻松跨多个链构建和交互，最终增强开发者和去中心化应用程序（dApp）端的区块链技术的可访问性和可用性-用户。
