AXL address format

bech32 with the axelar prefix
A 20-byte account hash (RIPEMD-160 of SHA-256 of the public key) in bech32 with the human-readable part axelar (axelar1โ€ฆ). Other Cosmos SDK chains use the same hash with their own prefix, so one key has a different address on each chain.

Good to know

AXL amounts use 6 decimal places: 1 AXL = 10^6 base units.

Its SLIP-44 coin type is 118, so BIP-44 style wallets derive it under m/44'/118'/โ€ฆ.

This page checks address formats only. It never asks for a private key or seed phrase. Want to know if an address still holds funds? Try find money (coverage is listed there). Lost the wallet app? See the recovery guides.
