🎯 Objective
Instant Onboarding to Hedera with Axelar ITS is to help protocols rapidly grow their:
- Token market capitalization
- Total value locked (TVL)
- User base - Hedera has a strong base of DeFi power users, which sets it apart from typical EVM-based DeFi communities.

🌉 Axelar’s Interchain Token Service (ITS) Supports Your Asset Bridge to Hedera from 80+ Chains like EVMs, Hyperliquid, XRPL, Stellar, Sui, etc
- Build Bridges within 5 Minutes with Permissionless & Code-Free Tokenization with Axelar's Most Decentralized & Secured PoS Security:
- Axelar Network is secured by 75 validators (Validation is on-chain and transparent), the most decentralized and secured network compared to other interoperability solution providers in the industry
- Axelar ITS is trusted by web3 & DeFi giants, including Mysten Labs, Ripple, Falcon Finance, Stables Labs, Midas, Solv, Merlin, Lido, Ondo Finance, Kelper, etc.
- No-code Bridge Deployment Platform: You can build bridges for any assets across Axelar’s Ecosystem without writing any code. The bridge deployment takes 2-5 mins only depending on chains’ finality. You don’t have to know how to deploy smart contracts on Hedera.
- This deployment would use one chain as your “home” chain, and use Axelar to bridge the assets to any of Axelar’s connected chains.
- ITS Provides the Best Bridge Experience - Making Your Token Address Same on All EVM Chains, No Liquidity Management Effort, Natively Mint and Burn & No Wrapping, and Natively Integrated Inside Squid’s Cross-Chain Swap
- ITS tokens would be fungible across all EVM chains supported by the Axelar network, and your tokens powered by ITS would have the same token address on all EVM chains for the best user experience.
- Users can bridge your token at a 1:1 ratio without any slippage using the ITS Portal or Squid. The bridge can be built under the mint/burn hood so you don’t have to seed the liquidity on multiple chains and rebalance liquidity across chains, minimizing the bridge operation cost for you. We don’t wrap tokens but natively bridge tokens, which means no liquidity fragmentation.
- Your ITS bridge will be automatically whitelisted on Squid, powered by Axelar. Squid is providing one-stop bridging services across 90+ chains and Squid has been integrated by many leading dapps, such as Pancakeswap, Metamask, Jumper, and more.
- Highest Customization Flexibility and Security Protection
- You can customize the ITS Bridge based on your demand including but not limited to setting up a “flowlimit” to control daily bridge volume.
- Axelar will help to configure flowlimit if you deploy Bridge on ITS Portal.
