Apex Fusion and Tenderly Unveil EVM Bridge for Developer Unity

Apex Fusion has taken a significant step in advancing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem through the launch of Nexus, its EVM-compatible Layer 2 (L2) network, now fully integrated with Tenderly’s industry-leading infrastructure and development tools. This development aligns with Apex Fusion’s broader strategy to unify the UTXO and EVM ecosystems, enabling developers to build, scale, and secure decentralized applications with enterprise-grade tools. The partnership is expected to enhance the accessibility of Apex Fusion for developers, particularly those already engaged with Tenderly’s ecosystem [1].

The tri-chain architecture of Apex Fusion—comprising Prime (the L1 backbone), Vector (the UTXO-based L2), and Nexus (the EVM L2)—is interconnected through Reactor, a bi-directional bridge that facilitates seamless interoperability. Nexus, built on Polygon Edge, is engineered to offer high-performance, low-cost transactions with full EVM compatibility. It also maintains a direct link to the UTXO-based Vector chain and anchors into Prime for added security and decentralization [1]. This architecture is designed to support a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and institutional blockchain use cases, with a strong emphasis on compliance and scalability.

Through the integration with Tenderly, developers on Nexus gain access to a comprehensive set of infrastructure and development tools. These include Virtual TestNets, which offer collaborative development environments with unlimited faucet capabilities and built-in explorers; advanced debugging and exploration tools to identify and resolve potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited; and real-time monitoring and alerting systems to help developers mitigate on-chain risks as they emerge. Additionally, simulation technology allows end-users to preview the outcomes of transactions before execution, enhancing transparency and user confidence [1].

A particularly impactful aspect of this partnership is that it opens Nexus to Tenderly’s large and active developer community. For teams already operating within Tenderly’s environment, Nexus now appears as a fully supported EVM chain. This integration significantly lowers the barrier to entry for developers, allowing them to deploy and scale applications on Apex Fusion without requiring extensive modifications. As a result, the platform becomes a more attractive option for Web3 teams seeking to participate in a multichain future [1].

Both Ivan Bjelajac, CEO of the Apex Fusion Foundation, and Bogdan Habic, CTO and Co-Founder of Tenderly, have emphasized the strategic importance of this collaboration. According to Bjelajac, the integration marks a pivotal phase in Apex Fusion’s development, providing developers with the tools necessary to build secure, scalable applications that bridge UTXO and EVM environments. Habic noted that the partnership supports Web3 teams in creating innovative applications while fostering the adoption of blockchain technologies on a global scale [1]. Together, Nexus and Tenderly are expected to streamline the development and deployment of decentralized applications, accelerating the growth of the broader Web3 ecosystem.

Tenderly, as a full-stack Web3 infrastructure provider, plays a crucial role in supporting developers across major EVM chains. Its tools have been adopted by thousands of Web3 teams worldwide, enabling them to build, test, deploy, and scale decentralized applications with speed and reliability. By partnering with Apex Fusion, Tenderly reinforces its commitment to empowering developers with the infrastructure they need to navigate a multichain environment. Meanwhile, Apex Fusion continues to solidify its position as a key player in the blockchain industry, offering a tri-chain ecosystem that supports both compliance and innovation in the next generation of decentralized applications [1].
