Cross-chain governance, like Axelar’s Interchain Governance Orchestrator, coordinates voting rules across blockchains by enabling seamless proposal and vote transmission. Using Axelar’s General Message Passing, proposals are encoded and sent via the Axelar Gateway, ensuring secure delivery to destination chains. Smart contracts, such as the InterchainProposalSender, facilitate gas payments and execute decisions. OpenZeppelin Governor integrates with Axelar to standardize voting, allowing token holders to propose and vote on actions spanning multiple chains. Quadratic voting enhances security by reducing majority dominance, requiring exponentially more tokens for additional votes. This framework ensures synchronized governance, maintaining security, liveness, and censorship resistance. Projects like Uniswap leverage Axelar to deploy updates across chains, demonstrating scalable, decentralized coordination.
