Smart Contracts

Ax Protocol's Smart Contract Architecture

USX Cross-Chain Transfer Flow

Depiction of a user-initated USX cross-chain transfer.

For security reasons, Ax Protocol prioritizes WormholeBridge over LayerZeroBridge. LayerZeroBridge is only enabled for cross-chain routes that Wormhole does not support. Please refer to the Deployed Contracts section to see a breakdown of the supported chain routes for each bridge.

Ax Relayer is Ax Protocol's specialized relayer system, responsible for retrieving VAAs from Wormhole's Guardian Network and delivering them to the destination chain.

USX Treasury Mint and Redeem Flow

Depiction of a user-initiated USX Treasury mint or redeem action.

At present, the USX Treasury only exists on Ethereum. Ax Protocol may deploy the USX Treasury to other chains in the future.
