On Monday, the Injective team announced via X that it has officially released the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI). This initiative brings a new financial primitive to the onchain AI economy.
Thanks to this initiative, traders can access a diversified index of Nvidia GPU rental prices through perpetuals with up to 10x leverage. Injective also plans to introduce a brand new financial primitive to access $SICI in the coming days.
SICI brings five NVIDIA GPU rental rates together into a single onchain benchmark. The index consists of the following:
-
H100 (Industry standard for AI training): 40%
-
B200 (Next-generation AI training and inference): 25%
-
H200 (High-memory AI training and inference): 15%
-
A100 (Fine-tuning and AI inference): 10%
-
RTX 4090 (Consumer GPU for affordable AI inference): 10%
Injective also provides a next-generation, highly interoperable smart contract platform based on Wasm 2.0, with advanced interchain capabilities. Injective utilizes a custom implementation of the Tendermint Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, providing instant transaction finality with lightning speed – sub-second block times (0.6s) while sustaining enormous throughput (25,000+ TPS). Injective is currently also leading new forms of innovation across a number of verticals, such as its pioneering work to integrate artificial intelligence with on-chain finance.
Injective has achieved a historic milestone of over 1 billion transactions to date, with one of the fastest chains built to date. The Injective ecosystem includes 100+ projects and over 500,000 community members globally. Injective was originally incubated by Binance and is also backed by a group of prominent investors, including Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto, and Mark Cuban.
Injective is an open, interoperable layer-one blockchain for building powerful DeFi applications. Injective uniquely provides plug-and-play financial infrastructure primitives, such as a high-performance on-chain decentralized exchange infrastructure, decentralized bridges, oracles, and a composable smart contract layer with CosmWasm. INJ is trading at $7.78, up 3.2% in the last 24 hours.
