Delta Blockchain aims to simplify cross-chain Ethereum and Solana app development with new 'Inclusive Layer'

Delta Blockchain Fund founder Kavita Gupta is launching a new consumer chain called the “Inclusive Layer” to bridge the fragmentation between Ethereum, its top Layer 2s and Solana, according to an announcement on Wednesday. 

The network and accompanying software development kit (SDK) promises a “purpose-built” solution for the liquidity fragmentation between the Ethereum and Solana base layers and scalability frameworks like Arbitrum and Optimism. 

In particular, it offers a “cross-chain unified liquidity aggregation layer between EVM and non-EVM chains” and SDK for “account management, chain abstraction and liquidity aggregation,” according to the press release. 

“These SDKs are powered by top-tier on-chain and off-chain liquidity providers, ensuring minimal latency and the best rates while enabling seamless wallet management across platforms like MetaMask and Phantom,” the project writes, referencing the two biggest Ethereum and Solana wallets, respectively.

For example, one of the first apps live on the Inclusive mainnet, Caishen, offers a “one click” way for users to buy Solana-based tokens like Jito’s JTO using ETH. 

Co-founders Gupta and Blas Rodríguez Irizar, the ex-chief technological officer of Composable Foundation and former software engineer at ConsenSys, are targeting the chain and SDK at “college students” and “deep degens” who want an integrated platform to launch apps on the two major smart contracting blockchains quickly.

Gupta, meanwhile, was an early investor in chains like Polygon and StarkWare and has had stints at the World Bank, IFC, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s family office and ConsenSys Ventures.

The tech stack was incubated with support and backing from prominent global cryptocurrency trading firm GSR and leading investment management firm Borderless.
