- After more than a year of deep development, the Axelar v2, codename Mobius Development Stack (MDS), is going live on the Mainnet. 1. It will be a phased rollout, but the core components of Axelar VM, Amplifier, and ITS are already live on the mainnet. 2. Many excitingA renaissance awaits. Beyond the Cosmos. Beyond Ethereum. Beyond what you thought was possible in Web3. Everything connected. Imagine how great we could be. The stakes have never been higher. The promise has never been greater. Liquidity. Tokenization.
