Connecting Injective: Hyperlane Opens the inEVM Bridge
Modular expansion is coming to the Injective ecosystem. Hyperlane is bringing permissionless interoperability and the first bridge between Injective and their inEVM rollup. Hyperlane now enables the Injective ecosystem to permissionlessly scale to more chains and more VMs than ever before.
The inEVM bridge is now live on mainnet. Start exploring the inEVM now.
What is Injective and inEVM?
Injective is a Cosmos blockchain supporting CosmWasm smart contracts and out-of-the-box modules such as a completely decentralized orderbook. It focuses on making DeFi applications easy to build and access.
inEVM is the new EVM-compatible rollup designed to facilitate composability across Injective and Ethereum. The inEVM is an Arbitrum Orbit stack chain developed in collaboration between Injective and Caldera.
And coming in the future is the Cascade inSVM, a rollup supporting Solana smart contracts and developer tooling.
All of these chains with different VMs makes interoperability between them extremely complex. The easiest way to connect them all is Hyperlane:
Why Hyperlane
Permissionless Interoperability
Permissionless Interoperability enables anyone to deploy Hyperlane to any chain. Interoperability and bridging for anyone, no need to ask the core team or wait in line.
The permissionless scaling of Hyperlane uniquely enables the Injective eco to connect to more chains and more ecosystems, without needing to rely on any bridge team.
Multi-VM Interoperability
Hyperlane’s modular and open-source design enables anyone to adapt Hyperlane contracts for any smart contract environment. Check out our implementation guide if you’re interested in adapting Hyperlane for new VMs.
Injective and Caldera specifically preferred Hyperlane due to our support for many VM environments and our ready out-of-the-box deployments.
Hyperlane originally just supported permissionless interoperability for EVM. But over time, external teams have adapted Hyperlane for multiple other VMs, such as SVM, CosmWasm, MoveVM, and more in the pipeline.
Out-of-the-Box Bridging
Hyperlane offers Warp Routes, an out-of-the-box token bridging application on Hyperlane. Warp Routes enable deployers to open up permissionless bridging for any asset between any Hyperlane-connected chain. It’s especially useful for assets that existing bridges won’t whitelist.
In addition Hyperlane offers a warp UI template for anyone to build a white label bridge on top of Hyperlane. In this case, the inEVM bridge.
What’s New
The primary use case of the Hyperlane x Injective integration will be bridging.
Warp Routes, Hyperlane’s token bridge application, were deployed for 3 tokens to start:
- INJ between the original Injective chain and inEVM
- USDC between ETH and inEVM
- USDT between ETH and inEVM
INJ, the native token of Injective, will be accessible on inEVM as a result.
What’s Next
Hyperlane will be pivotal in bringing interop to the upcoming inSVM rollup as well. The most efficient way to adapt interoperability and bridging to the complex Solana VM environment is with the permissionless and modular architecture of Hyperlane.
The inEVM bridging is already live on mainnet, try it now at bridge.inevm.com or Nexus.

More about Hyperlane
Hyperlane is the permissionless interoperability layer connecting the modular ecosystem. With Hyperlane, anyone can connect any blockchain, rollup, appchain, on any VM. Additionally, Hyperlane’s modular security stack gives developers the power to customize their interchain security to their needs.
