Injective’s Latest Updates

Injective (INJ) is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum. Cosmos SDK blockchain that enables users to trade a wide range of assets, including derivatives, futures, and synthetic assets.

Let’s discover Injective’s Latest Updates and see how much they’ve improved in the latest months.

1) Tokenomics

According to CoinGecko, these are the most important indicators of Injective’s tokenomics.

Total Supply	Circulating Supply	Market Cap	Deflationary Mechanism
100M	80M	~$476M	Yes

 

2) Governance

Anything related to the protocol is voted through the DAO, from Auction or Exchange module to protocol parameters or upgrades. So, anyone who deposits 500 INJ can open a proposal which then goes through the voting process. Right now, there are 175 proposals passed out of 203 total:

3) Token Burn

Exchanges who originate orders into the shared orderbook on Injective’s exchange protocol are rewarded with 40% of the trading fees, with an average minimum trading fee of 0.1% for makers and 0.2% for takers

And then the rest 60% of the trading fees are burned through the Burn Auction, where bids in INJ are placed.

The highest bid earns assets from transaction fees while INJ tokens used to bid are burned, creating a deflationary pressure to INJ supply.

This makes the basket of fees for the weekly auction keep rising, and more INJ is burned every week.
