Injective is a high-performance Layer1 blockchain specifically designed for Web3 finance and DeFi applications, featuring zero gas fees, cross-chain interoperability, and fast transaction confirmations.
The Injective blockchain was born in 2020, built on the Cosmos SDK, and adopts the Tendermint PoS consensus mechanism, achieving sub-second transaction finality, with a block time of approximately 0.64 seconds and a throughput of up to 25,000 transactions per second. Its most notable feature is zero gas fees, allowing users and developers to build and use decentralized applications more efficiently and at lower costs. Injective offers a fully on-chain order book, supporting various market types such as spot, perpetual contracts, and futures, while also supporting the tokenization of real-world assets and cross-chain asset transfers, enabling seamless interaction with Ethereum, Solana, and the Cosmos ecosystem.
At the ecological level, Injective has developed a rich array of DeFi applications, including decentralized exchanges, derivatives markets, and prediction markets, and implements governance, staking, and deflationary mechanisms through the INJ token. Its design goal is to become the universal infrastructure for Web3 finance, providing a secure, scalable, and highly interoperable environment for developers and users. @Injective
