Stargate Expands to Injective, Bringing Cross-Chain Liquidity and wETH
Stargate, the omnichain liquidity protocol built on LayerZero, has launched full support for Injective. Users can now bridge assets directly to Injective from 80+ blockchains through Stargate's unified interface, and for the first time, wrapped Ether (wETH) is natively accessible within the Injective ecosystem.
What Is Stargate?
Stargate is the leading cross-chain liquidity layer, purpose-built to move assets across blockchains instantly and with guaranteed finality. Since its launch, the protocol has facilitated over $65 billion in total transfer volume, processing more than $1 billion per week across its network. It operates as a unified pool model, meaning users always receive native assets on the destination chain without fractured liquidity or wrapped intermediaries cluttering the process.
Built on LayerZero's messaging infrastructure, Stargate provides secure, immutable communication between chains. Its reach now spans 80+ blockchains, making it one of the most widely connected bridges in the industry.
Injective Gets a New Liquidity Gateway
With Stargate now supporting Injective, users across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and dozens of other networks have a direct, low-friction route into the Injective ecosystem. This matters because liquidity depth is what enables the products Injective is designed to power: orderbook-based perpetuals, structured products, and RWA markets.
Injective has already crossed 2 billion onchain transactions and recorded cumulative trading volume approaching $57 billion in H1 2025 alone. Connecting that trading infrastructure to Stargate's $1B+ weekly flow opens a meaningful new channel for capital to enter and participate.
wETH Comes to Injective
The most consequential asset unlocked by this integration is wETH. Wrapped Ether is one of the highest-liquidity assets in all of DeFi, and its arrival on Injective enables entirely new market structures that were not previously possible. Trading pairs denominated in wETH can now go live on Injective's native orderbook exchange. Lending and borrowing markets can be built around wETH collateral, giving users the ability to put their ETH exposure to work while remaining active across Injective's broader DeFi ecosystem.
For builders on Injective, wETH is both a liquidity primitive and a composable asset. A developer launching a yield vault, a structured product, or a leverage protocol can now incorporate wETH directly into their design without requiring users to pre-bridge or swap through a separate workflow.
How to Bridge
Bridging to Injective through Stargate is straightforward. Users connect a wallet at stargate.finance, select their source chain and asset, choose Injective as the destination, and confirm the transaction. Assets arrive as native tokens on Injective with no additional steps.
Why This Matters for Injective
Injective was built as the financial layer for Web3, combining a high-performance L1, a fully onchain orderbook, and native support for derivatives, RWAs, and complex financial instruments. What has historically limited any chain's DeFi growth is not the protocol design but access to liquidity. Stargate directly addresses that constraint. With 80+ connected chains feeding into Injective through a trusted, high-volume bridge, the barrier between global onchain capital and Injective's financial infrastructure shrinks considerably. wETH is only the beginning of what that connectivity makes possible.
