#Injective has officially launched its native EVM mainnet. This upgrade allows Ethereum dApps to run directly on Injective with ultra-fast speeds and lower fees. Developers and power users can now deploy Solidity smart contracts natively, unlocking multi-chain DeFi strategies.
The team also completed its first large-scale community-led token buyback, burning 6.78 million INJ worth $32 million. This move supports Injective’s new deflationary model and rewards committed holders each month from ecosystem revenues.
New strategic partnerships have been announced, especially in AI and gaming tech. Injective now supports enterprise-grade GPU modules and is targeting high-frequency trading, derivatives, and on-chain prediction markets with sub-second finality.
Trading volume is up, with more than $2.3B a week getting processed by the platform. Injective is also opening access to pre-IPO perpetual futures, bringing major brands like OpenAI into the DeFi space.
Cosmos SDK and IBC integration allow Injective to connect with other chains easily. This is helping projects launch trading infrastructure, cross-chain liquidity, and new yield optimization products.
The community and developer grants are live, and a 9-week Builder Catalyst program provides mentorship, resources, and liquidity support for new projects joining Injective.
INJ coin price predictions for 2025 range from $20—$35 with bullish scenarios possible if ecosystem growth keeps up.
Injective is moving fast toward its vision of a unified Layer-1 for high-performance, composable financial dApps.
