#injective $INJ #Injective is easiest to understand when you look at what it optimizes for rather than trying to place it into the usual “L1 vs ” categories. The whole network is built around the assumption that financial applications behave differently from typical smart-contract workloads. Most chains treat trading as just another contract, which creates bottlenecks the moment real liquidity shows up. Injective solves that by pushing the orderb into the core protocol itself.
