While digging through some recent ecosystem developments, I came across something that really stood out, even to me as someone working closely on interoperability. Deutsche Bank has just featured the DAMA 2 litepaper on their homepage, a collaborative effort between @Memento_Bc, @axelar, and DB itself. It’s a major institutional blueprint focused on tokenizing funds, RWAs, and stablecoins in a compliant, scalable way. From a research perspective, what’s fascinating is how deeply Axelar’s infrastructure is woven into the architecture. This isn’t just a logo inclusion, Axelar (via Interop Labs) is a core contributor to the design. ➤ The model leverages zkSync for privacy, Ethereum mainnet for base security, and Axelar to connect it all across 70+ chains. ➤ It’s built as a modular, compliant-ready stack for asset issuance, tailored for real-world institutions. ➤ Axelar’s GMP and Interchain Token Service enable assets to move and interact across ecosystems without fragmenting liquidity. Seeing this live on Deutsche Bank’s site is a strong signal, not just for what’s coming in institutional finance, but for the role Axelar is playing behind the scenes to make it possible.
