Axelar collaborates with Microsoft on blockchain

Axelar announced that it is working with Microsoft to deliver blockchain onramps, with a particular focus on Web3 startups.

In a bid to support Web3 developers, Axelar is providing customers an end-to-end blockchain interoperability offering, developer tools through AxelarJS SDK for multichain deployments, and Axelar General Message Passing (GMP), deploying through Azure Marketplace.
