Injective is an interoperable Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for decentralized finance applications. Operating within both the Cosmos and Ethereum ecosystems, it delivers developers ready-made on-chain financial infrastructure modules, enabling them to construct decentralized applications such as exchanges, prediction markets, and lending protocols without needing to build core financial primitives from scratch. A defining feature of the network is its cross-chain bridging infrastructure, which supports interoperability with a broad range of blockchains, encompassing both EVM-compatible networks like Ethereum and non-EVM environments such as Solana. The protocol uses a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism and functions as a smart contract platform. Its native utility token, INJ, is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance, as well as participating in the network's decentralized exchange order book.
