In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin as a peer to peer electronic cash system. A decentralized way for people to send payments without relying on central intermediaries. Today, stablecoins are gaining momentum as regulation improves and financial institutions prepare new products. Blockchain retail payments are closer than ever, but the problem is “fragmentation”. Assets and apps live across networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar. These ecosystems rarely communicate with each other. That makes simple payments harder than they should be. This is why interoperability matters. Axelar Network acts as a decentralized connectivity layer between chains. It allows assets and messages to move across blockchains so payments can flow smoothly. A user could pay from @ethereum The transaction routes through @axelar Settlement happens on @StellarOrg One simple payment experience powered by multiple chains. If blockchain payments want to match the convenience of traditional systems, interoperability will be a key piece of the infrastructure. #Axelar #Interoperability
