🔍 @injective Weekly Update (2025.12.1 - 12.7)｜As the ecosystem begins to accelerate on its own, expansion is no longer just “updates,” but a form of inertia

1️⃣ Technological Advances and Key Milestones

- MultiVM Continues Expansion: After the EVM mainnet launch, multi-chain interoperability experiences have entered a mature stage. Subsequently launched MultiVM ecosystem activities officially began, marking Injective as the first L1 to seamlessly integrate WASM + EVM.

- Comprehensive Developer Tools Upgrade: During the past phase, continuous releases included MultiVM layer, iBuild no-code dApp building platform, and Trader automation trading framework.

- Injective Research Released: New repository launched, covering protocol architecture, ecosystem analysis, tokenomics, and policy research, providing developers with a one-stop technical reference.

- Developer Activity Surge: Over 40+ new dApps/tools/wallets added; Messari reports highlight Injective's dominant on-chain trading position in RWA perpetual markets (stocks, forex, commodities, pre-IPO assets) exceeding $6 billion.

- Stablecoin Infrastructure Enhancement: USDC, USDT, and AUSD integrations completed simultaneously, providing smoother cross-asset liquidity in MultiVM environment.

2️⃣ Partnerships and Institutional Progress

- DEXTools Integrates Injective: The tool platform with 15 million monthly active users officially supports Injective, allowing traders to directly view market data and trade global assets.

- Validator Network Strengthening: Core validators announced, including major institutions like Google Cloud, Binance, Kraken, Galaxy, Ledger, BitGo, T-Mobile, Cointelegraph, and Docomo; more Web2 giants are joining, further enhancing network security and decentralization.

- Policy and Regulatory Engagement: Injective’s policy proposals have been included in SEC official public records, supporting on-chain innovation exemption frameworks.

- Exchange and Payment Entry Expansion: Bitstamp opens INJ trading to U.S. users; Blockchain integrates INJ tokens and supports local fiat trading.

3️⃣ Community Activities and Ecosystem Incentives

- MultiVM Ecosystem Carnival Launch: The event kicks off along with the EVM mainnet, with a total prize pool exceeding $30,000. Users can earn rewards by learning, posting, and participating in ecosystem content rankings.

Hosted by Bantr, featuring 19 projects (such as Helix, Choice, Paradyze, etc.), with invitation codes distributed via official Discord.

- Chinese Community Engagement Activities: Collaborated with hodlherai to distribute early Sola invite codes (limited on X and Telegram), login grants points used for testing sentiment/news/Meme/content assistant functions.

- Community Mobilization: Officially promotes the “Ninjas will win” atmosphere, energizing the December ecosystem sprint.

4️⃣ On-Chain Metrics and Ecosystem Outlook

- Core Data Continues to Rise:

- Total on-chain trading volume surpasses $73 billion

- Community-driven token buybacks grow by 300%

- Over 100 million blocks generated on-chain

- Recently burned 6.78M INJ (worth about $39.5 million), protocol fees continue to drive automated burning (~60%).

From recent observations, Injective is ramping up its ecosystem rhythm to a higher frequency. MultiVM, RWA perpetual, validator network, major tool integrations... When these elements stack up, the entry speed for developers and projects is passively increased.

In other words, Injective has shifted from being a “chain that needs to be chosen” to “one of the default options.”

If the ecosystem can maintain this self-driven inertia in the coming months, many seemingly scattered updates now might eventually coalesce into a very clear main thread: a truly capable execution layer that can support large-scale on-chain transactions and applications has taken shape.

Injective’s value might then be re-priced at that moment.
