Axelar is a cross-chain overlay network (Cosmos SDK app axelard) that enables cross-chain asset transfers and General Message Passing (GMP) between EVM and Cosmos chains. The nexus module registers chains and assets and tracks transfers; the evm module manages Gateway contracts and signed commands on EVM chains; axelarnet handles IBC and Cosmos contract calls.
