Overview
- The upgrade enables EVM and WASM smart contracts to run natively in one environment with shared assets and liquidity, removing bridge friction.
- Developers can use Ethereum tooling such as Hardhat and Foundry without modification while tapping Injective’s finance-focused modules.
- Injective says the live network delivers 0.64‑second block times and ultra‑low transaction costs, targeting high‑throughput DeFi use cases.
- The roadmap includes planned Solana VM support to extend the MultiVM architecture beyond EVM and WASM.
- Governance is handled by an Injective Council with representatives from Google Cloud and Binance’s YZI Labs, and the launch follows a community INJ buyback-and-burn program offering a 10% yield from ecosystem revenue.
