Injective is quietly becoming one of the most efficient chains for DeFi. Injective has: > $0.0003 average transaction costs > 650ms block times & instant finality > 25k+ TPS (commercial-grade throughput) The real kicker is that its verifiable delay functions (VDFs) establish a fair transaction ordering consensus based on proof-of-elapsed-time. This addresses Ethereum's important race situations and MEV concerns, as well as preventing front-running attacks and resolving same-block order disputes. It's why devs are using @injective to launch derivatives markets, decentralized hedge funds, and high-frequency trading apps that couldn’t exist elsewhere. Add native interoperability with 110+ IBC chains (plus Ethereum & Solana) and you have a cross-chain financial backbone. Injective is the venue where high-performance DeFi happens.
