🟠 The Axelar ITS Hub is live! 🟠

ITS Hub is a CosmWasm-based contract on Axelar that serves as a central routing hub for all token transfers across the Amplifier, consensus chains, and non-EVM chains like Sui and Stellar.

Some key benefits of ITS HUB are:

πŸ’« Unified token routing simplyfying bridging for EVM chains and non-smart contract ecosystems like Flow and Sui

πŸ’ͺ Enhanced security with balance tracking, rate limits, and robust state management for seamless transfers.

⛓️ Streamlined support for Amplifier and consensus chains, with broader compatibility coming soon
