The interoperability network Axelar submitted a governance proposal to discontinue three chain integrations within its Amplifier framework: Flow, Berachain, and Plume.
The decision follows an internal review that detected virtually no economic activity across these connections since their launch, while operational costs for verifiers continued to accumulate. According to the official statement, the foundation had been subsidizing those costs for hundreds of thousands of dollars annually without a sufficiently robust transaction volume being recorded across any of the three channels.
The team noted that each active connection generates considerations around security terms, operational burden, and economic risks that must be justified by real activity. In the absence of that activity, Common Prefix —responsible for Axelar’s 2026 roadmap— concluded that maintaining these integrations dilutes the network’s objective and compromises verifier incentives.
The proposal will follow the standard governance process: token holders will have three days to vote, and if approved, a one-week notice period will begin before the formal shutdown. The teams of all three chains were notified in advance.
