Imagine a cross-chain world powered by Squid, now experience it on Decentraland. With Squid and Axelar’s integration, you can get any NFT listed on the Decentraland Marketplace with any asset in your wallet, from any chain.

Integration Details
Squid is powering accessibility and interoperability across Decentraland, empowering players, content creators, and contributors alike.
Don’t worry $MANA holders, it’s still the currency of Decentraland… And $MANA is still the underlying value of NFTs on the Decentraland marketplace. You just can use any asset to collect them now, instead of only being able to use $MANA.
How? Squid powers the cross-chain swap for your NFT checkout. When you click to buy an NFT using a different asset in your wallet and on a Decentraland supported chain (currently Ethereum and Polygon), Squid routes your order cross-chain in the background. From your asset to $MANA to your newly collected NFT… all in just under 20 seconds.
