Hyperlane has recently become part of the Injective ecosystem. It became the FIRST bridge between Injective and inEVM. In this article, we will look at why Hyperlane and what benefits we get from connecting with inEVM for the blockchain in the future.

You can learn more about inEVM by directly interacting with the bridge https://bridge.inevm.com/

Why Hyperlane?

At the core of inEVM is the inherent compatibility between WASM and EVM environments. Injective uses Hyperlane to interact with WASM-based Injective dApp applications and resources.

Hyperlane is not just a bridge, but a universal permissionless interoperability layer built for a modular blockchain stack, ideal for aggregations such as inEVM and inSVM.

Their permissionless interoperability allows anyone to deploy Hyperlane on any network. You don’t need any contracts with the team, you don’t need to wait for managers’ decisions and so on.

Here are a few key features of Hyperlane:

  1. Contracts: Hyperlane exposes online contracts that allow applications to send and receive messages.
  2. Agents: Agents in the network manage the protocol, adding security and forwarding messages between chains
  3. Extras: And it’s you guys! You can use the protocol to send and receive messages between different threads secured by Hyperlane

What is Injective and inEVM?

Meet Injective , a one-of-a-kind first-tier Cosmos ecosystem blockchain optimized for creating financial solutions for Web3.

With inEVM, Ethereum developers gain unprecedented access to Injective’s global network and user base, offering a new realm of possibilities to expand the reach of their protocols. inEVM represents a significant advance in interoperability between major blockchain networks and highlights Injective’s commitment to advancing an integrated Web3 network.

inEVM offers several key benefits to developers, including ultra-fast speed due to its parallelized structure, instant transaction completion, modular toolkit, shared liquidity and interoperability across the entire Cosmos IBC universe with Solana.

Every single aspect of inEVM has been designed specifically to meet the needs of complex applications, including the hyperscaling execution layer and the modular DA layer. This, combined with the near-zero fees offered by Injective, makes inEVM the leading solution for native Ethereum developers worldwide.

And this is how the interaction will work:

The Hyperlane Token Switch application has been deployed to launch 3 tokens:

INJ between original Injective chain and inEVM
USDC between ETH and inEVM
USDT between ETH and inEVM

Finally we get the native Injective token — INJ in inEVM.

Hyperlane will also play a key role in enabling interoperability with the future build of inSVM. Hyperlane’s permissionless, modular architecture is the most efficient way to adapt interoperability and bridging to a complex Solana VM environment.

The inEVM architecture

Injective worked to create an ecosystem of parallel virtual machines with WASM, inEVM and inSVM that were protected by Injective.

These VM environments contain different virtual machines, each of which is adapted to execute smart contracts written in different programming languages ​​or with different execution models. This framework facilitates interoperability, allowing developers to leverage the strengths of different virtual machines while ensuring compatibility with existing standards and smart contract infrastructure.

Conclusion:

With Hyperlane integrated into inEVM Injective, developers can build cross-chain applications that protect users from the complexities of a multi-chain landscape, allowing for a significant expansion of the ecosystem. I recommend starting to learn more about Hyperlane now!
