Welcome to the Injective Era: Native EVM Mainnet Launch Opens New Frontiers for Finance

The most anticipated upgrade in Injective's history has arrived. Today, Injective is launching its native EVM layer, an unmatched development environment custom built to power the next generation of onchain finance applications.

The new Injective mainnet uniquely enables builders to create applications across both WebAssembly and EVM with unified assets, liquidity and Web3 modules simultaneously. With this release also comes 30+ dApps and infrastructure providers ready to power a new era of onchain finance.

What This Means for Users, Developers, Institutions and the Future of Finance

The Injective EVM Testnet was a resounding success with over 5 billion onchain transactions across more than 300,000 unique user wallets.

Injective's native EVM marks a massive leap for Injective’s blockchain architecture. For the first time, developers have access to a unified platform where native EVM and WASM innovations coexist seamlessly, without compromise. Users gain access to more dApps, more assets, and superior trading experiences all the while enjoying Injective’s lightning fast finality with minimal gas fees. Institutions can level up their infrastructure stack for their onchain liquidity by utilizing Injective’s RWA module to rapidly tokenize and issue assets.

Injective now sits at the forefront of blockchain scalability, supported by leading institutions, Fortune 500 companies, and top Web3 players who set the tone of its vision and security. For instance, major companies from Google Cloud to Binance’s YZI Labs sit on the Injective Council and help secure the injective network.

The release today sets a new slope for growth, positioning Injective to onboard the next wave of developers, dApps, and users into the DeFi ecosystem.

Solving the Real Problems in Crypto

Current blockchain ecosystems face critical challenges that limit growth and user experience. Siloed dApps force users to choose between incompatible platforms. Transaction speeds are slow, fees are high, and assets remain fragmented across different chains and networks. Composability remains limited and most critically, users and developers face constant friction.

Injective's mainnet launch eliminates these barriers. The platform now offers:

A true MultiVM environment: Builders and users alike can seamlessly access EVM and WASM in one shared environment.

Unprecedented speed and efficiency: With 0.64-second block times and transaction fees as low as $0.00008, Injective delivers the next-gen experience users deserve.

True composability: Every dApp and asset benefits from a shared development and liquidity layer, enabling seamless interaction and seamless liquidity across the entire ecosystem.

Familiar tools for developers: Developers can utilize standard Ethereum development tools such as Hardhat and Foundry without modification as well as Injective’s plug-and-play financial modules, dramatically reducing time-to-market.

Shared liquidity modules: New dApps access institutional-grade liquidity from day one through Injective's CLOB module, eliminating the cold start problem that has plagued countless projects.

The Injective Era Begins

This launch represents Injective's MultiVM vision coming to life. Developers now choose between WebAssembly (WASM) and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) execution, with Solana VM support on the roadmap. This flexibility combined with Injective's advanced financial modules creates unprecedented opportunities for innovation.

Injective's universal token standard, called MultiVM Token Standard (MTS) means every token has a consistent representation across the entire dApp ecosystem. No more manual bridging between user environments. No more duplicate token versions causing confusion. Just seamless, atomic transactions where complex operations either fully execute or completely revert, ensuring user funds and data integrity remain protected.

The Exchange module solves a fundamental problem: new dApps can immediately access shared, MEV-resistant liquidity powered by professional market makers. This transforms the economics of launching new applications, allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than liquidity bootstrapping.

Onchain Finance For All

Injective's mission has always been clear: to create the first blockchain for true onchain finance. The native EVM launch is a critical step toward that goal.

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

- Lend/Borrow markets for top assets

- Tokenized traditional assets and real-world commodities

- Pre-IPO market exposure

- Advanced derivatives and perpetual futures

- Institutional-grade infrastructure and custody

-And much more

This breadth of offerings, combined with Injective's superior performance and low fees, creates the most compelling onchain user environment available today.

The Injective Flywheel

Injective's architecture creates a powerful virtuous cycle: more dApps attract more developers and more users, which drives more usage and liquidity, which attracts even more developers, applications and revenue. The shared liquidity modules and familiar developer tools accelerate this cycle dramatically.

For developers, the value is clear: reduced development time through modular building blocks, immediate access to institutional liquidity, and the ability to deploy sophisticated applications that simply aren't possible on other chains.

For users, the benefits are direct: more opportunities, more assets to trade, better user experience with instant transaction finality, and unmatched transaction fees.

Finance’s Inflection Point

Injective stands at a pivotal moment. The native EVM launch, combined with the support of leading institutions and top Web3 infrastructure providers, positions the platform for exponential growth. Developers who have felt constrained by other blockchain limitations now have a genuine place to call home with a platform designed from the ground up for institutional-grade finance open to all.

This is not an incremental improvement. This is a new standard for how decentralized finance platforms should be built and operated.
