What is Squid Now? Yesterday we took a trip down memory lane to explore the beginning of Squid. Now we look at Squid today. What we are, who we serve, and what we love to do 🫧

Solana is connected to Axelar. The integration is now live on testnet. Time to start building and exploring what cross-chain connectivity unlocks for @solana ecosystem. Get started: docs.axelar.dev/dev/general-me…

@squidrouter I knew history could be interesting!

The Story of Squid, in three parts. i) Squid then ii) Squid now iii) Squid next Three threads about who we are, where we've come from, and where we're going. So without further ado...

@Tickets231013 SCAM!

Testnet network graph looks a bit different today 👀 @solana

@axelar @solana @solana is finally here 🔥!

New integration joining Axelar Network is @solana. Now live on testnet. Enabling Solana applications to connect with users, assets, and liquidity from external chains. Start exploring the integration.

@squidrouter I'm so jealous of everyone who was there!!

a good move was made last night thank you all for coming 💜

hello @EthCC

@squidrouter Goedemorgen 😊

Not every connection in a network develops into meaningful activity. As networks grow, integrations often outpace actual usage, leading to chains with limited volume, low liquidity, and little contribution to overall value flow. This is increasingly relevant in the context of Axelar’s network, where broad connectivity has been established over time, but not all integrations have translated into sustained demand. Removing these underutilized connections allows the system to better reflect where activity actually exists. It improves incentive alignment, reduces unnecessary overhead, and creates a clearer structure for both validators and developers building within the Axelar ecosystem. It also shifts how progress is understood, moving away from counting integrations toward evaluating the quality and impact of those that remain. The result is a network that is more coherent, easier to maintain, and better suited to support use cases where real value is transferred, including those that bridge traditional finance and on-chain systems through Axelar.

@squidrouter Everything is a lot 🫧

What’s next? everything ✨

We're bringing more Squid to more people. Built with love at every layer, coming soon to a phone near you. Reply 🫧 to join the queue

@squidrouter Always 🫧

The Purge — Explanation We are removing chains with little to no activity or volume, cutting weak connections that don’t contribute meaningful usage to the network, and focusing on those that do. This shift strengthens incentives, improves validator alignment, and concentrates effort on ecosystems where real value is created and transferred. The Purge is how the network gets stronger.

Agentic payments are all over the timeline! here’s everything you need to know in one place (and how Squid can make the whole thing simple 🫧)
