inEVM Spotlight: Caldera

In the realm of Web3 finance, scalability and efficiency are paramount. Central to this evolution is the emergence of multi-VM (Virtual Machine) environments, enabling blockchain platforms to support a diverse array of smart contract languages and execution environments.

inEVM is essential to this paradigm shift, and is the latest milestone from Injective. inEVM signifies substantial progress in interoperability among leading blockchain networks and emphasizes Injective’s commitment to fostering an integrated Web3 network.

A number of key infrastructure platforms were critical In building inEVM. Among these, Caldera emerged as a key provider of robust rollup frameworks to catalyze the development and deployment of high-performance rollups.

This spotlight series delves deeper into what Caldera is and how it was utilized in the creation of inEVM.

What is Caldera?

Caldera stands at the forefront of rollup deployment platforms, offering a comprehensive suite of tools and services to streamline the deployment process for developers. Its platform is designed to leverage the capabilities of leading rollup frameworks to enable the creation of customizable, high-performance rollups tailored to specific needs.

Each Caldera rollup is equipped with a myriad of features aimed at optimizing performance and functionality. These include performant RPC nodes, a block explorer, a data indexer, and a bridge interface to the settlement chain. Having such a robust infrastructure ensures seamless operation and makes it clear as to why Injective utilized Caldera for its inEVM environment.

Utilizing Caldera for inEVM

The Caldera team worked to create a bespoke solution tailor made for the Injective ecosystem.

Unlike typical rollups, inEVM is highly unique in that it focuses on bringing a new VM environment to one of the largest layer one networks in existence. With Caldera’s diverse tool kit, inEVM is able to launch seamlessly and provide dApp developers with a familiar environment to deploy their applications. Additionally, getting started on inEVM is highly intuitive, creating ease for developers who are looking to join the broader IBC ecosystem.

As Caldera is also compatible with multiple protocols, Injective’s inEVM environment was highly customizable enabling interoperability protocols such as Hyperlane and LayerZero to be integrated into the rollup as well.

The Future of inEVM

inEVM brings a groundbreaking infrastructure stack designed to hyperscale multi VM development. With inEVM, builders can create a legion of new applications that not only retain the highest performance standards but also directly composes across the IBC and Solana ecosystems over time.

Every single facet of inEVM has been custom built to meet the needs of sophisticated applications, including a hyper scalable execution layer as well as a modular DA layer. This combined with the near zero fees offered by Injective, makes inEVM the foremost solution for Ethereum native builders everywhere.
