Injective is built so that every time people use the network, the INJ token becomes more valuable. Instead of printing more tokens, Injective is designed to slowly reduce supply, which rewards long-term users.
Injective is its own blockchain made for fast and low-cost trading, especially for things like derivatives. All trades pull from one shared pool of liquidity, so traders get quick and smooth execution. The fees from this activity don’t disappear — they go back into the system.
With the INJ 3.0 upgrade, token inflation is now tightly controlled. When many people stake INJ (which they do), almost no new tokens are created. Right now, inflation is basically zero. That means the focus shifts fully to burning tokens, permanently removing them from circulation.
The key driver is weekly burn auctions. Trading fees are used to buy INJ, and most of those tokens are destroyed forever. When trading activity increases, more INJ gets burned. This directly connects real usage to token scarcity.
Injective has also grown by adding Ethereum support, making it easy for more developers to build apps on the network. More apps bring more users, more trades, more fees — and more burns.
In simple terms, Injective rewards growth. Users stake INJ to secure the network and earn rewards. Traders generate fees that reduce supply. Builders create apps that bring activity. Everyone benefits as the ecosystem grows.
Bottom line: Injective turns real usage into long-term value. The more people use it, the less INJ exists — and that’s what makes the system powerful.
