Injective Rolls Out Native EVM to Unify Apps and Liquidity on One Chain

Embedding Ethereum compatibility at the protocol layer, the upgrade promises sub‑second blocks, near‑zero fees, with shared financial modules.

Overview

  • Injective activated a native EVM embedded in its state machine, creating a MultiVM setup where Ethereum and WASM applications run natively in a unified environment.
  • More than 40 decentralized applications and infrastructure partners were reported live at launch, expanding the network’s on‑chain finance offerings.
  • Injective says the network targets roughly 0.64‑second block times with transaction fees as low as $0.00008.
  • Developers can deploy using familiar Ethereum tools such as Hardhat and Foundry without modification, while shared liquidity via a central limit order book and a MultiVM Token Standard aims to cut bridging and token duplication.
  • The roadmap includes planned Solana VM support, governance is handled by an Injective Council with members from Google Cloud and Binance’s YZI Labs, and the rollout follows a recently announced INJ community buy‑back program.
