Injective just dropped their first full whitepaper rewrite since 2018.
Back then it was an ETH-based DEX protocol. Now it's a full L1 built for institutional RWA and tokenization.
Here's what's inside:
Native RWA tokenization with role-based permissions (mint/burn/send/receive controls), programmable hooks, and sealable namespaces
iAssets — stablecoin-margined derivatives tracking real-world assets via oracles. No wrapping, no pre-funding
Fully onchain CLOB running sealed frequent batch auctions at uniform clearing prices. Front-running and MEV-resistant by design
BFT consensus with >2/3 commit threshold. Deterministic finality in ~600ms blocks
Native EVM + WASM in one state. MultiVM Token Standard keeps single bank-module balance per asset, exposed via Solidity precompiles
Perps with time-weighted funding, margin checks, reduce-only liquidations, insurance funds
AI agent integration via MCP servers, policy-bounded signing, and x402 machine payments in USDC
Onchain protocol revenue flows into recurring Community BuyBack for $INJ
This isn't just theory. The paper formalizes consensus thresholds, block lifecycle, batch clearing rules, oracle accounting, derivative risk models, and the dynamic issuance controller.
One chain, full lifecycle — from issuance to settlement.
If you're serious about RWA or institutional DeFi, this is required reading.
