Zypto App is a non-custodial multichain DeFi wallet where you can hold AXL, swap into 24,000+ assets across 20+ chains, connect to dApps and put your crypto to work in the real world.

What you can do with AXL in Zypto App
Axelar is available in Zypto App: hold it in self-custody, swap it through the chain's DEXs, and connect to dApps with it.
AXL is not accepted as a payment method yet. To spend its value, swap it in-app into a stablecoin or another accepted asset, then use that for card loads, gift cards, top-ups and bill pay.
AXL is native to Cosmos Hub, which is not integrated in Zypto App yet. We will integrate it as we reach that point on the roadmap and as we see community interest.
In the meantime, bridged and wrapped versions of AXL on the chains below are integrated, so you can hold and swap those in the app today.

What is Axelar?
Axelar is a network built to connect different blockchains, letting applications move tokens and pass messages across many chains through a single integration. It is built with the Cosmos SDK and secured by a proof-of-stake validator set, with features such as General Message Passing that carry data and contract calls between networks. The AXL token is the network's native asset. The chain reached mainnet in 2022, and the token followed later that year. AXL is used for staking, where holders delegate to validators that secure cross-chain activity, and it covers network fees and governance over how the protocol is run. Because its role is tied to demand for cross-chain transfers, its usage tracks activity across the networks it links. You can track the Axelar price and hold AXL in a self-custody wallet.

Axelar wallet FAQs
What's the best Axelar wallet app?
That depends on what you want to do with your AXL. If you're holding only, any non-custodial wallet works. If you want to hold, swap across 20+ chains, connect to dApps, and use crypto for real-world spending, Zypto App is purpose-built for that while still being fully non-custodial.
Is the Zypto Axelar wallet non-custodial?
Yes. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device. Zypto never has access to your AXL. Every transaction is signed locally on your device before it reaches the network.
How do I use crypto for real-world spending with Zypto Premium Visa Cards?
When you load the card in Zypto App, your crypto is converted into USD. Conversion happens at load, not at the checkout, so you can lock value in, avoid volatility and pay wherever Visa is accepted, subject to eligibility and applicable limits.
Which chains can I swap Axelar into?
Swap into assets across 20+ chains including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain and TRON, across 1,000,000+ cross-chain routes. All in-app, all in two taps.
How do I back up my Axelar wallet?
During setup, Zypto App generates a 12-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it offline somewhere safe. For offline hardware wallet security, pair Zypto App with a Vault Key Card, the card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC without exposing your keys to the internet.
