On Friday, the Injective team announced via X that the IIP-617 introduces a structural upgrade to $INJ tokenomics, permanently accelerating total supply reduction.
This proposal seeks to advance INJ into a new deflationary phase by permanently increasing the rate of total supply reduction. The updated INJ framework reinforces deflation as a defining property of INJ. Once implemented onchain, the changes are expected to double the rate of INJ deflation, increasing deflation by a factor of 100%.
When combined with the existing Injective Community BuyBack, which systematically removes INJ from circulation, Injective's tokenomics design shifts toward a structurally enhanced deflationary model. Reduced issuance and recurring token burns operate in tandem to strengthen long term supply contraction.
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 $4.66, down 10.8% in the last 24 hours.
