June 2025 performance highlights across axelarjs and axelar-configs. Implemented environment-driven Stellar network passphrase selection to replace the hardcoded TESTNET value, improving wallet connectivity reliability and centralizing configuration and typing. Performed routine visuals maintenance by updating chain assets (Berachain and Stellar visuals; refreshed Immutable, Kava, Sui, XRPL-EVM, and XRplevm visuals), ensuring up-to-date branding and clearer blockchain visuals. These changes reduce misconfig risk, improve user experience, and demonstrate strong config management and asset pipeline skills across repositories.
