September already? This summer flew. Fortunately, while everyone was soaking up the sun, Ninjas were heads down, grinding, and most importantly — shipping.

The past month was big for Injective on nearly every front. A massive chain upgrade was implemented without a hitch, a jam-packed conference schedule was unveiled, and pivotal integrations were rolled out. 

It’s the August Community Update, and it’s time to get down to business. With that said, drop what you’re doing, pop in your headphones

Injective today is releasing its Remix Web IDE plugin, a new web-based integrated development environment (IDE). This launch marks an important milestone for the Injective ecosystem, as it allows developers to write, test, and deploy smart contracts directly from their web browser.

Injective is continuing to redefine blockchain performance, consistently delivering faster and unmatched experiences for developers and users alike.

Recent performance upgrades have slashed block times down to just 0.65 seconds on average. Not only is this a monumental leap from the sub-second block times achieved a year ago, but it also makes Injective one of the fastest layer 1 blockchains ever created. This article explores the key enhancements that made Injective's unparalleled speeds possi

Injective uniquely provides a number of plug-and-play modules which developers can utilize to rapidly build and launch production ready finance focused dApps.

A core module emerges from Injective's native exchange module which supports binary options markets, offering a robust infrastructure for developers to create diverse decentralized applications (dApps). Here's an overview of how it works and the benefits it offers:

Welcome to the July Community Update! July was another massive month, not only for the platform and ecosystem, but also for finance at-large. If there's one through line to draw from these monthly updates, it's that Injective is reducing friction in every facet: friction for builders, friction for users, and friction for institutions. Building the future of finance demands this.

This month hit on all three aspects. Institutions saw the launch of AINJ, the Injective Staking ETP, and witnessed th

What if a single upgrade could revolutionize the entire layer one landscape? With Altaris, Injective turns this vision into reality.

The Altaris mainnet upgrade aims to redefine Injective as a whole with a host of new capabilities. This includes enhanced scalability for faster than ever transaction speeds alongside the introduction of the first RWA Oracle, bridging the gap between digital and traditional assets. But most importantly, Altaris revolutionizes the very economic framework of the Inj

This product represents a pivotal step forward in Injective’s commitment to integrating with traditional markets and institutions.
