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 gives derivatives, token swaps and sports activities betting prediction markets. It’s also centered on interoperability through cross-chain bridging, and presently helps digital property from Ethereum, Polkadot and IBC-enabled chains reminiscent of 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 could be performed with the clicking of a button,” Injective Labs acknowledged.
Injective pronounces new integration with @WormholeCrypto ‼️
Wormhole brings ten new chains, reminiscent of @Avalancheavax and @Solana, to Injective’s already interoperable chain, making Injective the first gateway to enter the @cosmos universe ⚛️ https://t.co/Zu8belwh7d

Wormhole is a generic messaging protocol that interacts with completely different blockchains, offering providers reminiscent of cross-chain software help and token bridges.
Not the entire “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 right into a heap, and Ethereum already being supported, it’s unclear what the opposite remaining chains out of the overall of 10 are.
Nonetheless the undertaking 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 effectively. As an example, DApps on Injective may allow seamless cross-chain buying and selling throughout the Cosmos and Solana ecosystems whereas additionally having the ability to provide yields on Solana (or another Wormhole supported asset).”
“Builders using chains reminiscent of Avalanche, Algorand or Polygon can entry property inside the broader Cosmos ecosystem through Injective,” it added.
Cosmos builders will even be capable to incorporate Wormhole’s generic messaging layer and add cross-chain functionalities inside their dApps.

The announcement has performed 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 sit down at $2.21 on the time of writing. The token can be down 91.1% since its all-time excessive of $24.89 in late April 2021, in keeping with knowledge from CoinGecko.
