On Monday, the Injective team announced via X that POSCO International and LG CNS have selected Injective to power its first ever blockchain-based trade finance pilot.
South Korea's largest trading company has successfully completed a transaction using trade receivables generated through real commercial activity on Injective, marking a major step toward bringing one of the world's largest financial markets onchain.
The pilot combines tokenized trade receivables, synchronized onchain records shared across participating organizations and AI-assisted review of Letters of Credit and trade documentation, creating a more unified workflow from issuance through settlement.
Trade finance supports more than $5 trillion in annual financing, yet much of the infrastructure behind it still relies on fragmented records, manual reconciliation and disconnected systems. This collaboration demonstrates how shared public blockchain infrastructure can modernize global trade finance.
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 $4.64, down 5.4% in the last 24 hours.
