Evidence summary #
No emergency-stop activations found in the trailing 12 months. Axelar's Cosmos chain undergoes scheduled governance-coordinated upgrade halts (normal Cosmos SDK appchain operations, not security pauses). Rate limiters on EVM gateways are a structural control, not a pause event. No evidence of security-driven pause activation in 2025-05 to 2026-05 window.
