According to Cointelegraph, Azura, a new all-in-one crypto application aggregation layer, has launched with support from some of the most notable crypto founders. The platform, which brands itself as an onchain interfacing layer, was introduced on October 22. Its primary goal is to lower the entry barrier for new investors and enable them to trade any asset via decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

Azura aims to support all blockchains and protocols, as stated in an October 22 post on X. The platform aggregates all major forms of decentralized infrastructure into a single application. By bundling functionality and abstracting away complexity, Azura seeks to preserve the benefits of DeFi—self-custody, decentralization, and transparency—while making it more accessible to new users.

Currently, DeFi users must interact with numerous blockchains, protocols, Web3 wallets, and blockchain bridges to perform cross-chain transactions. According to Azura, this fragmentation in DeFi applications is a significant barrier to adoption, discouraging crypto beginners from using decentralized applications. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
