According to BlockBeats, Axelar Network has announced a planned upgrade for its mainnet on August 28 at approximately 22:00. The network is expected to be down for about two hours during this upgrade. This update will enable the deployment of the Interchain Amplifier on the mainnet.

During this period, Axelar Network, Satellite, token transfers, and general messaging functions will be unavailable. The Interchain Amplifier seamlessly connects a wide range of blockchain consensus engines and traditional off-chain systems, significantly reducing development costs. It automates the connection of any type of blockchain, with new cross-chain connections made public through smart contracts rather than at the protocol layer.
