Axelar, the universal overlay network that has raised $64 million to deliver secure cross-chain communication for Web3 protocols such as Avalanche, Osmosis and Polkadot, announced that it will be one of the first Web3 protocols to introduce quadratic voting to further advance cross-chain security. By requiring progressively more tokens for each additional vote, quadratic voting combats the so-called “tyranny of the majority” and improves Axelar’s network security by boosting its decentralization. The implementation of quadratic voting is part of the project's recently completed mainnet upgrade, code-named Maeve (after the leading sci-fi TV series Westworld character) to add to the robust cross-chain interoperability infrastructure that Axelar provides as it grows and powers the cross-chain future.
