In philosophy, we often debate free will and determinism. In traditional finance (TradFi), people believe that they have free will to make investment decisions. But in reality, they are influenced by underlying forces: Insider trading, the lack of transparency in the Order Book, and the rules written by those in power.
When crypto emerged, it promised fairness. But then, we created a new 'Swamp': Mempool.
Mempool is not just a place where transactions wait. Mempool is a philosophical space where fairness is traded. It is where bots can bid higher to buy priority positions, where MEV (Miner/Maximal Extractable Value) turns users into hunted prey. Cryptocurrency has created a new layer of injustice, disguised under a technical veneer.
And this is where Injective has provided a mathematical and philosophical answer: Eliminate the Mempool.
Personal Experience: The Exhaustion of the Gas Auction
I clearly remember the days when I had to monitor gas fees. I felt like I was participating in a meaningless auction. I wanted to make a transaction, but I had to compete with dozens of bots programmed to react faster than me, and most importantly, willing to pay higher fees than I was.
That stress made me no longer feel like I was conducting a normal financial transaction. I felt like I was fighting against an Invisible Force.
I had to hesitate a bit. I once tried using a private RPC to escape the predation of MEV. It worked, but then I found myself seeking priority again. It’s a vicious cycle. You combat injustice by seeking a new type of privilege. This is not sustainable ethically.
Injective has seen this problem and applied a radical mathematical perspective: To create fairness, you must eliminate the variable that causes disruption.
Decoding the Mathematical Perspective: Turning Transactions into Determinism
In mathematics, determinism is when one input always produces the same output. This is something that Mempool has completely broken. The same transaction, at the same time, can yield different results depending on gas fees, bots, and ordering.
Easy-to-understand technical explanation:
1. Transactions go straight, no waiting: On Injective, transactions do not stop at the "waiting room" (Mempool). They go straight to the validators.
2. Order by rules, not by price: The order of transactions is determined mathematically (deterministic) based on the time of receipt, not based on the gas amount you pay (since INJ has a Zero-gas environment).
Philosophical meaning: By eliminating Mempool, Injective has removed the "Auction Playground" and replaced it with an unbribable "Ordering Rule."
As the potential for manipulation approaches 0, fairness is restored. INJ does not attempt to minimize MEV. They eliminate the environment where MEV can exist.
Core Use Case: Ending Front-Running and Sandwich Attacks.
In other systems, front-running is an ethical issue. On INJ, it is a technical issue that cannot occur because no one can "preview" your transaction in a waiting space (Mempool).
Hidden Vision: INJ Is an Atomic Clock
We often think of finance as chaotic, but philosophers and engineers seek order.
• Injective: An Atomic Clock in the world of decentralized finance.
Absolute determinism: Everything is ordered in exact time, with no interference, no manual adjustments.
This vision is not just for traders. It is for every builder, every Market Maker, every investor. When you know that the behavior of the system is completely predictable and mathematically fair, what will you do?
You will build complex and sustainable things that you cannot do elsewhere. You will become an assertive investor rather than a defensive one.
Injective is redefining the economic logic of finance. They prove that fairness is not a slogan, but a necessary consequence of correct technical design.
