Injective has officially launched inEVM on mainnet — marking a pivotal moment in blockchain evolution. As the first Ethereum-aligned rollup built for hyperscale concurrent VM development, inEVM unlocks unprecedented capabilities for developers seeking high performance, cross-chain composability, and seamless integration across multiple virtual machine environments.
With inEVM, Ethereum developers can now harness Injective’s ultra-fast transaction speeds and near-zero fees while maintaining full interoperability with both the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and WebAssembly (WASM) ecosystems. This positions Injective as the only Layer 1 blockchain that unifies the interoperability of Cosmos, the speed of Solana, and the developer accessibility of Ethereum.
Backed by strategic collaborations with leading Web3 infrastructure providers like Caldera, Hyperlane, LayerZero, Celestia, and Pyth, inEVM delivers a robust, modular stack designed for the next generation of decentralized applications.
Why inEVM Matters for Web3 Developers
The demand for scalable, composable, and developer-friendly blockchains has never been higher. While many chains offer EVM compatibility, few deliver true cross-VM synergy. inEVM changes that paradigm.
Developers can now build using familiar tools like Solidity and MetaMask, deploy on an EVM-compatible environment, and instantly gain access to:
- Sub-second finality
- Near-zero gas fees
- Native IBC connectivity
- Cross-chain messaging via Hyperlane and LayerZero
- Direct interaction with Injective’s on-chain orderbook and other core modules
👉 Discover how inEVM empowers Ethereum-native builders to scale beyond traditional limits.
This unique blend of performance and flexibility makes inEVM a powerful sandbox for Ethereum developers exploring new frontiers in multi-chain application design — all without sacrificing composability or security.
The Vision: A Multi-VM Blockchain Future
Injective is pioneering a concurrent multi-VM architecture, where WASM, inEVM, and inSVM (Solana Virtual Machine) coexist under a single, unified network secured by Injective’s consensus layer.
Each virtual machine supports different programming languages and execution models, enabling developers to choose the best environment for their use case — whether it's high-frequency DeFi trading, complex options protocols, or cross-chain NFT marketplaces.
What sets Injective apart is its ability to allow true composability across VMs. For the first time, builders are no longer confined to isolated ecosystems. They can create applications that span EVM, WASM, and SVM layers — unlocking novel synergies and cross-functional dApp architectures.
Native Interoperability Through Hyperlane
At the core of inEVM’s interoperability is Hyperlane, a universal, permissionless messaging layer designed for modular blockchains.
Unlike traditional bridges, Hyperlane enables secure, trust-minimized communication between Injective’s WASM layer and inEVM. This means:
- Smart contracts on inEVM can directly call functions in WASM-based dApps
- Users can trigger transactions across VMs without leaving their current environment
- Developers can abstract away multichain complexity from end users
Hyperlane operates through three key components:
- Contracts: On-chain endpoints that send and receive interchain messages
- Agents: Decentralized relayers that monitor chains and forward messages securely
- Applications: Developer-built dApps that leverage the protocol for cross-chain functionality
This infrastructure allows for seamless creation of interchain applications — such as a Solidity-based lending protocol that interacts directly with Injective’s native orderbook system.
Horizontal Composability with LayerZero
Injective’s integration with LayerZero takes composability even further by enabling Omnichain Applications (OApps) — dApps that operate across multiple blockchains simultaneously.
With LayerZero, inEVM supports:
- Containerized cross-chain message packets
- Separation of receipt logic from external calls
- Cross-chain asset transfers with minimal overhead
Additionally, the OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) extension simplifies cross-chain NFT and token deployments, making it ideal for projects building omnichain ecosystems.
For example, a developer could launch an NFT collection on inEVM and allow holders to seamlessly transfer their assets to Ethereum, Solana, or any IBC-connected chain — all within a single interface.

Scalable Data Availability with Celestia
To ensure scalability without compromising decentralization, inEVM uses Celestia as its Data Availability (DA) layer.
Celestia is a modular blockchain that provides data availability through Data Availability Sampling (DAS) — allowing light clients to verify that transaction data is published without downloading the entire dataset.
Key benefits include:
- Trust-minimized monitoring of data availability
- High throughput via scalable DA architecture
- Reduced burden on validators and full nodes
By leveraging Celestia, inEVM achieves horizontal scaling while preserving verifiability and security — essential for high-performance rollups processing thousands of transactions per second.
Institutional-Grade Oracles with Pyth
Real-world data is critical for DeFi applications. That’s why Pyth Network is live on inEVM from day one.
Pyth delivers low-latency, high-fidelity price feeds sourced from over 95 leading financial institutions, including:
- Jane Street
- CBOE
- Binance
- OKX
- Bybit
This enables developers to build mission-critical applications like perpetual DEXs, options markets, and algorithmic stablecoins with confidence in data accuracy and timeliness.
Projects like Thetanuts Finance — an advanced on-chain options protocol — rely on Pyth’s precise oracle feeds to ensure fair pricing and risk management across volatile markets.
Real-World Applications Already Live on inEVM
The inEVM ecosystem is already home to a growing number of innovative projects, collectively raising over $200 million from top-tier investors like Polychain Capital, Delphi Digital, and Bain Capital Crypto.
Notable deployments include:
- TimeSwap: A fixed-maturity lending protocol that operates without external price oracles
- Poolshark Protocol: A volatility-focused AMM allowing directional liquidity positions
- Thetanuts Finance: A decentralized options platform specializing in altcoin derivatives
- Interport: A cross-chain trading hub connecting multiple networks efficiently
- ApeBond: A bonding protocol focused on sustainable DeFi growth
- Relative Finance: Cross-sector dApps bridging SocialFi, GameFi, and DeFi through prediction markets
These applications demonstrate inEVM’s versatility in supporting diverse financial primitives — from lending and derivatives to gamified experiences.
Getting Started with inEVM
Deploying on inEVM is as simple as deploying on any EVM-compatible chain. Developers can use standard tooling like Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix with minimal configuration changes.
