Injective partners with Wormhole to bring 10 new blockchains to the platform

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Injective (INJ) has partnered with Wormhole to combine “10 new blockchains” to its community.

Injective is a Cosmos layer-2 decentralized alternate (DEX) that provides derivatives, token swaps and sports activities betting prediction markets. Additionally it is centered on interoperability via cross-chain bridging, and at present helps digital property from Ethereum, Polkadot and IBC-enabled chains corresponding to Cosmos.

Injective Labs, the protocol’s builders, famous in a Might 25 announcement that the partnership will allow customers to switch and commerce property throughout any chain that’s built-in with Wormhole.

“The Wormhole integration will vastly improve Injective’s capabilities with respect to interoperability. Customers will quickly discover Wormhole built-in into the backend of the Injective Bridge whereby transferring property from distinct EVM chains or Solana may be executed with the clicking of a button,” Injective Labs said.

Wormhole is a generic messaging protocol that interacts with totally different blockchains, offering providers corresponding to cross-chain application support and token bridges.

Not all the “10 new blockchains” are  named particularly. Wormhole’s web site additionally solely lists 9 chain integrations which embody Solana, Terra, Ethereum, Avalanche, Oasis Binance Sensible Chain, Polygon, Fantom and Aurora.

With Terra falling into a heap, and Ethereum already being supported, it’s unclear what the opposite remaining chains out of the entire of 10 are.

Nevertheless the venture has highlighted the power of Injective to “function the first gateway for cross-chain native property from Solana and different outstanding Layer 1 chains” to enter the ecosystem.

“The choices for customers can prolong far past asset transfers as properly. For example, DApps on Injective might allow seamless cross-chain buying and selling throughout the Cosmos and Solana ecosystems whereas additionally with the ability to provide yields on Solana (or some other Wormhole supported asset).”

“Builders using chains corresponding to Avalanche, Algorand or Polygon can entry property throughout the broader Cosmos ecosystem through Injective,” it added.

Cosmos builders may even be capable to incorporate Wormhole’s generic messaging layer and add cross-chain functionalities inside their dApps.

The announcement has executed little to sway the worth of Injective’s native token INJ to this point, with the worth dropping 2.6% up to now 24 hours to take a seat at $2.21 on the time of writing. The token can also be down 91.1% since its all-time excessive of $24.89 in late April 2021, in response to knowledge from CoinGecko.
