Kavita Gupta Launches Inclusive Layer, Delta Fund Backs Cross-Chain Development Platform

The blockchain development landscape is facing a critical challenge: building applications that work seamlessly across multiple chains remains extraordinarily complicated. Developers frequently struggle with the technical complexity of creating solutions that can operate on Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum simultaneously. This market gap has caught the attention of Kavita Gupta, founder of Delta Blockchain Fund, who is now introducing Inclusive Layer—an infrastructure platform designed to eliminate these development barriers and enable builders to create multichain applications without deep technical expertise.

Understanding the Cross-Chain Development Problem

Over the past two years, Gupta has observed a consistent pattern: developers consistently ask how to build options trading platforms, perpetual contracts, or even memecoins that operate across multiple blockchains. The fundamental issue is that integrating two separate chains—even seemingly compatible ones like Base and Solana—requires navigating numerous technical obstacles. “Everybody really wants to build between Base and Solana,” Gupta explained, highlighting why she identified this as a critical market opportunity. “But building between those two and having them integrated is not at all easy. I started to see a huge gap: Why are people not able to build a robust white label cross-chain solution?”

This challenge exists despite the presence of established infrastructure providers like Alchemy and Swing, which offer development tools but haven’t fully solved the cross-chain integration problem. The demand for better solutions continues to grow as more developers recognize the potential of multichain strategies.

How Inclusive Layer Works

Inclusive Layer is architected to abstract away the technical friction that currently makes cross-chain development cumbersome. The platform creates liquidity aggregation across major blockchain networks, allowing developers to access a unified infrastructure layer rather than building custom integrations for each chain individually.

The first application launching on Inclusive Layer is Caishen, a cross-chain trading service that demonstrates the platform’s capabilities. Caishen serves as both a proof-of-concept and a template for other builders, showing how Inclusive Layer can power complex financial applications across multiple blockchains.

The Team Behind the Initiative

Kavita brings her experience from ConsenSys Ventures, where she previously held a leadership position focused on blockchain infrastructure and innovation. She is joined by Blas Rodríguez Irizar, who previously served as Chief Technology Officer at Composable Foundation and has worked as a software engineer at ConsenSys. This combination of business acumen and deep technical expertise positions the team to address the nuanced challenges of cross-chain development.

Support from Delta and the Ecosystem

Both Inclusive Layer and Caishen have been incubated through Delta Blockchain Fund, underscoring the fund’s commitment to solving foundational infrastructure challenges in the blockchain space. The initiative has also received backing from GSR and Borderless, signaling ecosystem confidence in the platform’s potential. This support network demonstrates that the market recognizes the value of tools that simplify blockchain development for the next wave of builders entering the space.

The emergence of Inclusive Layer represents a strategic effort to lower barriers to entry for multichain development, positioning infrastructure solutions as critical enablers for the next generation of blockchain applications.
