đŁď¸đ°Injective Tokenomics Upgrade Increases INJ Deflation by 400% Following Community Approval
In a landmark decision, the Injective community has voted in favor of a major tokenomics upgrade for INJ, the native token of the Cosmos-based Layer 1 blockchain. The changes are expected to make INJ one of the most deflationary assets in the crypto sphere.
The INJ 3.0 tokenomics proposal received an overwhelming 99.99% approval rate, signaling strong community support. The upgrade includes a reduction in INJ's minting properties and new parameters to promote deflation over the next two years.
Lower inflation bounds will decrease to 4%, while upper bounds will be reduced to 7%, enhancing the token's responsiveness to staking activity. In Q2 2026, the project will reassess these deflationary measures.
The successful vote follows the recent launch of Injective's Volan upgrade, which focused on modules related to real-world assets, such as tokenized fiat currency pairs and treasury bills. As of April 22, Injective has $62.7 million in total value locked, according to DeFiLlama.
INJ is currently trading at $28.18, with a market capitalization of $2.5 billion and a circulating supply of 90 million tokens. The community's commitment to making INJ a sound monetary asset sets the stage for a promising future for Injective and its users.
