Oracle providers used
Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-048 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Axelar's bridge function uses NO traditional price oracle. The trust root is the Cosmos-SDK PoS validator set. Source inspection of AxelarGateway.sol and AxelarGasService.sol confirms no latestAnswer(), latestRoundData(), or equivalent oracle call. The 19 Chainlink feed addresses in the data cache are peripheral (third-party integrators using Axelar GMP, not consumed by Axelar's own contracts).
