Sub-second transaction finality and transaction fees of a few cents are no longer exclusive to traders; they are also beginning to redefine the value distribution rules for content creators.
After building a high-performance financial public chain, Injective is extending its reach into the Web3 content creation field. This transformation stems from a major upgrade in November 2025—the official launch of the native EVM mainnet.
Over 40 decentralized applications and infrastructure partners were launched simultaneously on that day, and an ecosystem for creators called CreatorPad is ready.
01 Cross-domain Empowerment of Financial Infrastructure
The original intention behind Injective's design is purely financial. Built on Cosmos SDK, it boasts sub-second block speeds and reduces transaction fees to mere cents, creating an ideal environment for high-frequency trading and complex financial operations.
The core modules of this public chain, such as the on-chain shared order book engine and derivatives module, are tailored for financial scenarios.
In 2025, Injective made a strategic expansion: it officially enabled native EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine).
This is not just a simple compatibility layer, but a deep integration from the bottom up. Developers can build on Injective using the familiar Solidity language, MetaMask wallet, and the full suite of Ethereum development tools.
This transformation repositioned Injective from a 'Cosmos DeFi chain' to an 'EVM-oriented multi-virtual machine financial L1'.
02 CreatorPad: Cultivating creativity on financial fertile ground
Against the backdrop of this native EVM upgrade, CreatorPad emerges as an important part of the Injective ecosystem. In the Web3 space, networks like Polygon are also exploring solutions to lower the barriers to creation.
However, CreatorPad on Injective has a unique financial gene.
It does not exist independently; rather, it is rooted in the fertile soil of Injective's rapid, low-cost, and highly composable DeFi.
Its goal is clear: to solve the core pain points faced by content creators, such as traffic dispersion, high platform cuts, and difficulties in monetization.
The value reconstruction of financial modules
The potential of CreatorPad partly comes from the existing powerful financial modules within the Injective ecosystem, which can bring new value streams to creative content.
Token economics and value capture: Creators can directly establish economic connections by issuing social tokens, fan tokens, or content NFTs. Injective's near-zero fee environment makes these frequent, small interactions economically feasible.
Programmable iAssets framework: The iAssets framework, designed specifically for tokenizing real-world assets (RWA), allows for the creation and trading of assets without the need to lock in large amounts of capital in advance.
This model of high capital efficiency may be referenced for the on-chain confirmation and circulation of 'creative assets' like copyright and future income rights.
Shared on-chain liquidity: The digital assets produced by creators can be directly connected to the shared order book on the Injective chain for trading, obtaining instant liquidity.
03 MultiVM: The technological cornerstone of the ecosystem
CreatorPad's seamless integration into Injective is key to its underlying MultiVM architecture.
This architecture allows different virtual machines like EVM and CosmWasm to coexist and interoperate on the same blockchain. This means:
· For creators and ordinary users, they can seamlessly manage and trade their creative assets using the Ethereum ecosystem tools (like MetaMask) they are most familiar with.
· For developers, they can leverage native Cosmos modules to build high-performance, customized financial applications, while easily connecting to the massive user base, assets, and protocols from Ethereum through the EVM environment.
An envisioned use case is: a musician issues an NFT for the copyright revenue of a song (based on EVM standards) through CreatorPad, and fans can trade it on decentralized exchanges like tokens. Meanwhile, a derivatives protocol built on CosmWasm can create more complex financial products like options or prediction markets using this NFT as the underlying asset.
All these interactions happen on the same chain, enjoying the same speed and extremely low costs.
04 INJ 3.0: The ultimate anchor of ecological value
The soul of Injective lies in its continually evolving, highly forward-looking token economics. The INJ 3.0 upgrade plan that has been passed has increased the network's deflationary pressure by 400%.
At its core is a weekly destruction auction: all the income generated by DApps within the Injective ecosystem (including fees generated by applications on CreatorPad in the future) will be injected into a fund pool, where users bid with INJ, and the INJ paid by the winner will be permanently destroyed.
This creates a powerful value closed loop:
The more prosperous the ecosystem, the more application revenue → the more INJ destroyed weekly → the scarcer the total supply of INJ → the more stable the foundational value of the token → attracting more builders and users to join the ecosystem.
For participants in CreatorPad, holding INJ not only means governance rights but also directly sharing the value dividends generated by the growth of the entire creative economy ecosystem. This design, which closely ties network activity to token value, is at the core of Injective's construction of a sustainable economy.
With the Nivara upgrade and the launch of mainnet 2.0, Injective is preparing for organization-level financial applications. When the precision, capital efficiency, and programmability of financial public chains are used to serve humanity's most primal creative impulses, a silent revolution regarding creation, ownership, and value transfer is underway.
The uniformly flickering light on this chain is no longer the violent pulses of speculative markets, but the countless creative workshops, steadily illuminating the future value network.
