Injective Protocol provides a very different sort of spot trading experience than one would normally find on an Ethereum-based DEX. Whereas most Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges rely on the presence of automated market makers to perform trades, the Injective protocol applies on-chain order books, just like any user would find in a centralized exchange. This gives traders much more control over what is executed, such as limit orders, stop orders, and other advanced types of trades to minimize slippage and offer better price accuracy. This enables the execution of trades almost instantaneously, even during congestion on the network, for sub-second finality and high throughput. Additionally, Injective enables cross-chain trading whereby users will be able to trade assets from Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos in a completely trustless manner. Injective merges the transparency and security of decentralized finance with the sophistication of traditional trading in its spot trading infrastructure, ensuring a level playing field for professional and retail traders alike to take part in real-time markets.
