Factors Affecting Injective (INJ) Prices
Injective (INJ) took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce that it is onboarding one of the largest gaming giants, Gumi, as a validator. Gumi, founded in 2007, is a leading gaming content publisher and developer based in Tokyo, Japan. The firm has expanded from one office in Japan to several subsidiaries in Asia, Europe, and North America.
“Gumi’s addition to the Injective ecosystem will not only expand its role in the world of GameFi but also drive further adoption across Japan, Asia, and beyond,” read the X post.
Additionally, on June 6, Injective released its first-ever comprehensive paper on the INJ token, delving deeper “into the token’s core utilities and mechanisms powering a programmable token economy for deflationary acceleration.”
The paper stated that INJ will be used “as the default asset to facilitate the purchase and sale of goods and services between parties on the blockchain” and is secured via staking, an essential use case for the altcoin. Also, the token will be used for community-led governance across all parameters of the chain. Notably, there are signs that the developers are actively engaged with the project and the community.
