Production Chain Architecture: Depinject vs Manual Wiring for Custom IBC Middleware & Complex Modules

Building a production Cosmos blockchain for traditional markets with custom modules (DEX, oracle, auction) and custom IBC middleware for Axelar-based EVM bridging.​

Should I use depinject or manual wiring?

Observations:

• Depinject is still in beta status​

• Major production chains (Injective, Osmosis) use manual wiring​

• Need custom IBC middleware for complex cross-chain operations​

• Targeting large-scale production ecosystem, not experimental chain

Seeking: Community input on whether depinject is production-ready for custom module architecture with complex IBC middleware, or if manual wiring remains the recommended approach for mainnet launches.​
