How Injective's Native EVM Mainnet Ignites the Future of Decentralized Finance
Injective has officially activated its native EVM mainnet, marking a major leap for decentralized finance. Built since 2018 as a high-performance Layer 1 for trading and financial applications, Injective delivers sub-second finality, minimal fees, and seamless cross-chain liquidity from ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos. The new EVM support lets developers deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts directly on Injective without bridges, while still keeping full compatibility with CosmWasm. Its MultiVM architecture allows multiple virtual machines to operate in one unified environment, attracting more than 30 projects on launch day.
Injective continues to excel in derivatives, offering deep liquidity, real-time oracle pricing, and ultra-fast execution ideal for high-frequency strategies. Tools like Injective Trader and the iBuild no-code platform make it easier for users and builders to launch automated strategies or new dApps. The INJ token anchors the ecosystem through staking, governance, fee burns, and buyback programs, creating strong long-term token economics.
Injective is also advancing real-world asset markets by tokenizing equities, commodities, and forex, enabling 24/7 on-chain trading. With billions in yearly RWA derivatives volume and institutional interest such as Pineapple Financial’s $100M INJ treasury strategy, the ecosystem is gaining credibility beyond crypto. Upcoming INJ ETF filings signal growing regulatory alignment and broader investor access. Overall, Injective’s EVM launch and expanding RWA infrastructure position it as a leading platform for the next era of scalable, on-chain finance.
