Axelar deactivates routing for the legacy Centrifuge chain
The Ledger · · Ketju Research
Affects: Axelar (protocol)
What happened
Axelar governance passed proposal 473 and deactivated the legacy Centrifuge chain in the nexus module.
What changed
Axelar stopped routing transfers and messages to and from the deprecated legacy Centrifuge chain.
What did not change
The proposal did not deactivate other Axelar integrations or affect Centrifuge's newer Ethereum-native CFG token directly.
Confirmed
- Proposal 473 passed on June 6.
- The payload is an Axelar DeactivateChainRequest naming centrifuge.
- The stated migration window for the legacy canonical token had closed on November 30, 2025.
- The proposal states that the legacy chain remained block-producing but was no longer actively supported.
Still open
- Any residual user balances, unsupported messages, or applications still relying on the retired route are not identified by the record.
What it means for an advisor
- Remove the legacy Centrifuge route from any approved Axelar path inventory.
- Confirm that no client workflow or dependency still references the deprecated integration.
- Preserve the distinction between this route retirement and the status of Ethereum-native CFG.
