  Axelar is a decentralized cross-chain communication network that enables
  secure interoperability across 80+ blockchains including EVM chains, Cosmos,
  Solana, Sui, Stellar, and XRPL. The network provides General Message Passing
  (GMP) for arbitrary cross-chain contract calls, the Interchain Token Service
  (ITS) for deploying and bridging tokens across chains, and the Axelarscan API
  suite for querying network state, validator metrics, token transfer status,
  and GMP transaction data. Developer tooling includes the AxelarJS SDK, the
  Mobius Development Stack (MDS), and Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM).

      Retrieves information about the Axelar network and the AXL token.
      Provides access to metrics such as circulating supply, total supply,
      inflation, total value locked (TVL) across 80+ chains and 30+ assets,
      network proposals, and overall chain health. Backed by OpenSearch-cached
      data for sub-second responses on mainnet.

    description: >-
      Exposes metrics for validators operating on the Axelar network, including
      heartbeat status, uptime percentages, proposed block counts, voting
      participation, and quadratic voting scores. Useful for delegators
      evaluating validator performance and for monitoring infrastructure
      reliability across the 75+ active validators.

    name: Axelar Token Transfer API
    description: >-
      Provides insights into cross-chain token transfers executed through the
      Axelar network. Returns transfer status, source and destination chain
      details, asset denomination, amounts, confirmation counts, and historical
      transfer statistics. Supports both gateway token transfers and Interchain
      Token Service (ITS) transfers.

    name: Axelar GMP API
    description: >-
      Returns information about General Message Passing (GMP) calls routed
      through the Axelar network. Provides transaction status, source and
      destination chain data, contract call payloads, gas payment status, gas
      estimation, and recovery details for stuck or underfunded cross-chain
      transactions. Complements the AxelarJS SDK GMP recovery methods.

    name: Axelar Amplifier GMP API
    description: >-
      The Amplifier GMP API is the HTTP REST integration layer exposed by the
      Axelar Amplifier relayer service. External chain integrators and relayer
      operators use it to publish on-chain events (CALL, MESSAGE_EXECUTED,
      SIGNERS_ROTATED, ITS transfer events, etc.) and to poll pending
      transaction tasks (EXECUTE, APPROVE_MESSAGES, ROTATE_SIGNERS) that must
      be submitted to destination chains. Also supports CosmWasm contract
      broadcast and query, and large payload pre-storage.

    description: >-
      JavaScript/TypeScript SDK wrapping common cross-chain operations on the
      Axelar network. Key classes include AxelarAssetTransfer (generates
      deposit addresses for token transfers), AxelarQueryAPI (fee estimation,
      denom lookups, transfer status), and AxelarGMPRecoveryAPI (query GMP
      transaction status, manual relay, execute destination contract, add gas).
      Supports both MAINNET and TESTNET environments.
