🚀 Key Features of Injective
Injective is an open, interoperable blockchain that aims to provide the necessary financial infrastructure for Web3, including decentralized exchanges (DEXs), prediction markets, and lending protocols.
• Decentralized Exchange (DEX): Injective features a unique Exchange module that manages on-chain order books, trade execution, and settlement for spot and derivatives trading, eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries.
• Layer 1 Blockchain: It's built on the Cosmos SDK and uses a Tendermint Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for fast transaction speeds (low latency) and low transaction costs (near-zero gas fees).
• Interoperability: Injective achieves cross-chain compatibility with major networks like Ethereum and Solana through its upgraded Peggy bridge technology, allowing for secure asset transfers.
• Advanced Trading: The platform supports fully decentralized derivatives trading, including perpetual swaps and futures, along with features like on-chain order books and a Frequent Batch Auction (FBA) model to prevent front-running.
• Smart Contracts: It is smart contract-enabled, supporting a Multi-Virtual Machine (MultiVM) ecosystem that includes the inEVM rollup for EVM compatibility.
