"Cross-chain" has always been a necessity in the crypto industry.

Recently, the cross-chain field has welcomed many favorable news. On February 19, the cross-chain asset wrapping protocol Universal announced the completion of a $9 million funding round led by a16z.

Following this, on February 20, the Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of the modular cross-chain operation open-source framework Open Intents Framework, providing developers with powerful tools to build and deploy intent product experiences, further promoting the development of cross-chain technology.

On February 26, early Ethereum ecosystem participant, Delta Fund founder, and former ConsenSys Ventures partner Kavita Gupta announced the launch of the cross-chain aggregation protocol Inclusive Layer. This protocol is centered around user intent and aims to break down the barriers between EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, providing users and developers with a more seamless cross-chain experience.

Intent-based Cross-chain Protocol, Unifying EVM and Non-EVM Ecosystems

Inclusive Layer is an intent-based cross-chain aggregation protocol. It aims to achieve the organic unification of EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, creating a one-stop, comprehensive multi-chain interaction experience for users. Users can interact with multiple networks and protocols through a single, simple interface.

In terms of implementation, Inclusive Layer provides a "cross-chain unified liquidity aggregation layer between EVM and non-EVM chains" and an SDK for "account management, chain abstraction, and liquidity aggregation," allowing any developer to integrate with it for multi-chain deployment management of applications and assets.

In the current landscape of multiple chains coexisting, issues such as fragmented liquidity and the complexity of cross-chain interactions have not been effectively addressed. Inclusive Layer aims to address these industry pain points by creating an intent-based cross-chain aggregation platform that establishes liquidity aggregation between networks like Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, or Arbitrum, enabling developers and users to complete all network deployments and interactions on a single platform.

Features and advantages of Inclusive Layer:

Specifically, the main benefits for developers integrating Inclusive Layer are reflected in the following aspects:

From this perspective, Inclusive Layer is suitable for every Web3 developer. Whether in DeFi, GameFi, or various DApp applications, they can achieve one-click cross-chain deployment by using Inclusive Layer.

Official Flagship Cross-chain Trading Platform Caishen

On February 26, the first cross-chain product of the Inclusive Layer ecosystem, Caishen, was officially announced, opening a new experience for users in cross-chain trading. Users only need a single wallet. From now on, users can enjoy seamless cross-chain trading of over 5000 tokens with just one wallet, achieving free trading of any token on any chain, comparable to the smooth experience of CEX while ensuring low-cost and secure decentralization.

For example, Caishen provides a "one-click" cross-chain minimal operation, allowing users to directly exchange ETH on Ethereum for JTO (Jito) tokens on the Solana chain, without needing to worry about gas payments, additional wallets, or complex processes, eliminating the headaches of cross-chain trading.

Currently, the private beta version of Caishen is open for applications, and users can participate in the testing application by submitting their email information.

Inclusive Layer Team Backed by Delta Fund and ConsenSys

The market's attention to Inclusive Layer is mainly due to the project being led by Delta Fund founder Kavita Gupta, an early investor in the Ethereum ecosystem who founded ConsenSys Ventures and participated in early investments in well-known blockchain projects like Polygon, StarkWare, and BlockFi, making her highly recognized in the crypto industry. Now, Kavita Gupta has announced the new project Inclusive Layer, which brings a halo of attention.

Additionally, Blas Rodríguez Irizar, former Chief Technology Officer of Composable Foundation and a senior software engineer at ConsenSys, is also involved in the development of this project.

Inclusive Layer and its flagship cross-chain product Caishen are both incubated by Delta Blockchain Fund and supported by GSR and Borderless.
