The conversation between Raph from Lumen Loop and Ash from Axal delves into Axal’s journey from humble beginnings in hackathons to building a sophisticated automation platform leveraging Stellar blockchain. Initially focused on treasury management automation, Axal evolved to providing verifiable agents for task execution. Through the Stellar Community Fund, Axal aims to expand its automation offerings, integrating its autopilot system and yield product to streamline cross-chain exposure and DeFi-related tasks. Stellar provides an opportunity to serve a diverse user base, particularly those outside the US with unique financial needs.
