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

Recently, the cross-chain field has welcomed many positive developments. On February 19, the cross-chain asset packaging protocol Universal announced the completion of a $9 million funding round led by a16z. Following that, 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 participant in the Ethereum ecosystem, founder of Delta Fund, and former partner at ConsenSys Ventures, Kavita Gupta publicly 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 designed to achieve 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 operating 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 resolved. Inclusive Layer aims to address these industry pain points by building 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.

The features and advantages of Inclusive Layer include:

• One-stop API Interface: Through a simple and user-friendly API, developers can easily access numerous mainstream blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin L2, greatly simplifying the development process and lowering the technical barrier.
• Unified Liquidity Aggregation: It has integrated liquidity resources from top decentralized exchanges (DEX) and professional market makers, forming a large and efficient liquidity network that provides ample funding support and a high-quality trading experience for users and developers.
• Frictionless Multi-chain Trading Experience: Utilizing chain abstraction technology and an innovative gasless trading mechanism, it creates a seamless and smooth onboarding experience for users. Users do not need to delve into the complex technical details of the underlying blockchains or worry about which gas fees to use, allowing them to easily embark on their cross-chain journey.

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

• Abstracting the Complexity of Multi-chain and Multi-protocol Interactions: It highly abstracts and encapsulates the complex interaction logic between different blockchain networks and protocols, allowing developers to quickly build cross-chain applications without needing to study the underlying technical details of each chain and protocol, significantly reducing development difficulty and workload.
• Significantly Reducing Development Time for New Crypto Applications: With its comprehensive infrastructure and rich functional modules, developers can quickly build their application frameworks based on Inclusive Layer, avoiding the cumbersome development process of starting from scratch, thus greatly shortening the development cycle and accelerating time to market.
• Token Liquidity Network: After connecting to Inclusive Layer, developers and users can easily access a vast liquidity network supporting various popular tokens, whether mainstream cryptocurrencies or emerging token projects, ensuring ample liquidity for transactions and application operations.

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, providing users with a new experience 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, enabling free trading of any token on any chain, comparable to the smooth experience of centralized exchanges while ensuring low-cost and secure decentralization.

For example, Caishen offers a "one-click" cross-chain minimalist 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 on Inclusive Layer is mainly due to the project being led by Kavita Gupta, founder of Delta Fund. As an early investor in the Ethereum ecosystem, she founded ConsenSys Ventures and participated in early investments in well-known blockchain projects such as Polygon, StarkWare, and BlockFi, making her highly recognized in the crypto industry. Now, Kavita Gupta has publicly announced the new project Inclusive Layer, bringing with it a halo of attention.

Additionally, Blas Rodríguez Irizar, former Chief Technology Officer of Composable Foundation and 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.
