- Injective’s EVM upgrade enables seamless Ethereum and Cosmos dApp integration.
- Over 30 dApps launched, enhancing cross-chain DeFi interactions with fast deployment.
- Injective’s “plug-and-play” modules simplify DeFi development with low fees and deep liquidity.
Injective is a layer-1 blockchain, which has released a significant update to its platform. On November 11, the network unveiled its native Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which allows Ethereum-based applications to be able to run alongside the existing Cosmos-native decentralized applications (dApps). This update is a transition to change the architecture of Injective, increasing its power to execute decentralized finance (DeFi).
The EVM implementation incorporates EVM directly into the state machine of Injective. This enables the blockchain to execute Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and Cosmos-based WebAssembly actions in the same synchronized setting.
Seamless Cross-Chain Interoperability with Dual Execution
An outcome is the ability to have a dual execution in which applications across virtual machines can easily interoperate without the complex and risky bridging operations. This update addresses one of the main pain points of DeFi, which is the enhanced level of cross-chain interactivity and security.
After the upgrade, more than 30 dApps and infrastructure providers were launched on the Injective network. Such quick deployment shows the direct influence of the new capabilities, and developers are able to develop and deploy applications without leaving the Injective ecosystem.

There is the main benefit of high integration of both Ethereum and Cosmos applications, which gives people a greater choice and a more comfortable experience of working with decentralized finance.
“This launch represents Injective’s MultiVM vision coming to life. Developers now choose between WebAssembly (WASM) and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) execution, with Solana VM support on the roadmap. This flexibility combined with Injective’s advanced financial modules creates unprecedented opportunities for innovation,” said Injective team.
For developers, the Injective upgrade can simplify the development process, as it provides Ethereum tools that are familiar, such as Hardhat and Foundry. However, these are the tools that enable developers of Solidity to develop on Injective.
Injective’s Speed and Low Fees Enhance DeFi Platform Appeal
Injective also offers pre-built financial components, called plug-and-play, to support more sophisticated financial functionality, such as having the ability to trade derivatives, making the development process further streamlined.
A shared central limit order book module used in injective is another solution that solves the cold start issue by offering new applications with instant deep liquidity. The MultiVM Token Standard (MTS) of the platform ensures that every dApp has the same representation of tokens, and there are no problems related to token duplication and manual bridging.
The upgrade will also create new DeFi opportunities for users, including lending markets, tokenized real-world assets, and complex derivatives. Injective keeps its finality of less than a second and minimal transaction fees, which increases its attractiveness as a top DeFi platform.
