OpenZeppelin and Axelar's startup developer platform, Interop Labs, recently announced a collaboration aimed at providing developers with open-source resources specifically designed for cross-chain communication. Through this partnership, the two companies will work together to create a suite of contract libraries that enhance interoperability between Ethereum Layer 2 networks and Axelar connection chains. This initiative not only accelerates the development of cross-chain technology but also promotes the integration and innovation within the blockchain ecosystem.
