Injective, the leading layer-1 blockchain for the financial sector, announces the most important upgrade deployment ever named Mainnet EVM, a programming environment serving the next generation of on-chain financial applications.

The new Mainnet #Injective allows developers to build applications on both WebAssembly and EVM with unified and seamless assets, liquidity, and Web3 modules. The Mainnet is also ready with 30 dApp applications and infrastructure providers ready to take on-chain finance to new heights.

A significant milestone in Injective's roadmap

The EVM Testnet of @Injective has achieved success beyond imagination with over 5 billion on-chain transactions from more than 300,000 wallets participating in the test.

Injective's EVM network marks a significant advancement for the project's blockchain architecture. For the first time, developers have access to a unified platform where EVM and WASM improvements coexist seamlessly and in synchrony. Users can access more dApps, more assets, and an outstanding trading experience while enjoying Injective's extremely fast stability with minimal gas fees. Organizations can upgrade their on-chain liquidity infrastructure by using Injective's RWA module to quickly tokenize and issue assets.

Injective is currently leading in blockchain scalability, backed by organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and top Web3 firms that shape Injective's vision and security. It is noteworthy that major companies from Google Cloud to Binance's YZI Labs are all members of the Injective Council and help secure the Injective network.

Today's upgrade opens a new development direction, positioning Injective to lead the wave of next developers, dApps, and users into the DeFi ecosystem.

Bringing practical utility to crypto

Current blockchain ecosystems are facing serious challenges that negatively impact development speed and user experience, such as: isolated dApps forcing users to choose between incompatible platforms; slow transaction speeds, high fees, and assets still fragmented across different chains and networks; limited interoperability, and most importantly, users and developers face continuous disagreements.

However, Injective's Mainnet EVM has eliminated these barriers. The platform now offers:

- A truly MultiVM environment: Both developers and users can seamlessly access EVM and WASM in a shared environment.

- Unprecedented speed and efficiency: With a block processing time of 0.64 seconds and transaction fees as low as 0.00008 USD, Injective delivers the next-generation experience that users deserve.

- Synchronous compatibility: Every dApp and asset benefits from a common layer of development and liquidity, enabling seamless interaction and liquidity across the ecosystem.

- Familiar tools for developers: Developers can use standard Ethereum development tools like Hardhat and Foundry without modifications, as well as Injective's plug-and-play financial modules, significantly reducing time to market.

- Liquidity sharing module: New dApps can access institutional-level liquidity from day one via Injective's CLOB module, eliminating the development challenges in the early stage that have hindered countless projects.

Ushering in a new era for Injective

The launch event for Mainnet EVM marks the vision of Injective's MultiVM gradually becoming a reality. Developers can now choose between executing WebAssembly (WASM) and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), with support for Solana VM in the roadmap. This flexibility, combined with Injective's advanced financial modules, creates unprecedented innovation opportunities.

Injective's universal token standard, called MultiVM Token Standard (MTS), allows every token to have a consistent version across the entire dApp ecosystem. Users no longer have to worry about using bridges to move assets between chains, nor are there any duplicate token versions causing confusion. There are only seamless transactions, where complex operations are fully executed or completely reverted, ensuring users' funds and data integrity are protected.

The Exchange module addresses a fundamental problem: new dApps can immediately access liquidity provided by professional market makers. This transforms the economics of launching new applications, allowing developers to focus on product innovation rather than setting up liquidity themselves.

On-chain finance for all

Injective's mission has always been clear: to create the first blockchain for truly on-chain finance. The launch of Mainnet EVM is a significant step towards that goal.

With over 30 new dApp deployments and infrastructure providers launched alongside this release, users now have unprecedented access to:

- Market for lending/borrowing top assets;

- Traditional assets and real goods are tokenized;

- Trading assets before IPO;

- Advanced derivatives and perpetual contracts;

- Infrastructure and custodial services at the institutional level;

- And much more...

The diversity of this service, combined with the outstanding performance and low fees of Injective, creates the most attractive on-chain user environment today.

The Flywheel of Injective

Injective's architecture creates a powerful feedback loop: the more dApps attract more developers and users, which in turn drives higher usage and liquidity, which in turn attracts more developers, applications, and revenue. The shared liquidity modules and familiar developer tools help accelerate this cycle significantly.

For developers, the value is very clear: reduced development time through modular building blocks, instant access to institutional liquidity, and the ability to deploy complex applications that other chains cannot realize.

For users, the benefits are very direct: more opportunities, more assets to trade, a better user experience with instant transaction completion, and the lowest transaction fees.

The breakthrough moment in finance

Injective is stepping into a pivotal moment. The launch of Mainnet EVM, combined with support from leading organizations and top Web3 infrastructure providers, positions this platform for exponential growth. Developers who once felt constrained by other blockchain limitations now have a true place to call home with a platform designed from the ground up for institutional-grade finance, opening doors for everyone.

All this indicates not just an incremental improvement - but a new standard for how decentralized financial platforms are built and operated. $INJ
