FAQ
Q: How does Injective prevent front-running?
A: Through MEV-resistant orderbooks and Frequent Batch Auctions.
Q: Can I trade real-world assets (RWAs) on Injective?
A: Yes! The Volan upgrade introduced an RWA module for tokenized traditional assets.
Q: Is Injective compatible with Ethereum dApps?
A: Absolutely—via inEVM, which supports Solidity and EVM tooling.
Q: What’s the token burn mechanism?
A: 60% of exchange fees are pooled weekly to burn INJ (INJ 2.0 expands this to all dApps).
Conclusion
Injective is redefining DeFi with its interoperable, high-speed blockchain tailored for derivatives and cross-chain trading. By merging institutional-grade tools (RWAs) with decentralized infrastructure, it bridges traditional finance and Web3.
