Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Injective (INJ) has partnered with Wormhole to combine “10 new blockchains” to its community.
Injective is a Cosmos layer-2 decentralized alternate (DEX) that provides derivatives, token swaps and sports activities betting prediction markets. Additionally it is targeted on interoperability via cross-chain bridging, and presently helps digital property from Ethereum, Polkadot and IBC-enabled chains akin to Cosmos.
Injective Labs, the protocol’s builders, famous in a Might 25 announcement that the partnership will allow customers to switch and commerce property throughout any chain that’s built-in with Wormhole.
“The Wormhole integration will vastly improve Injective’s capabilities with respect to interoperability. Customers will quickly discover Wormhole built-in into the backend of the Injective Bridge whereby transferring property from distinct EVM chains or Solana will be finished with the press of a button,” Injective Labs said.
Injective broadcasts new integration with @WormholeCrypto ‼️
Wormhole brings ten new chains, akin to @Avalancheavax and @Solana, to Injective’s already interoperable chain, making Injective the first gateway to enter the @cosmos universe ⚛️ https://t.co/Zu8belwh7d

Wormhole is a generic messaging protocol that interacts with completely different blockchains, offering providers akin to cross-chain application support and token bridges.
Not all the “10 new blockchains” are named particularly. Wormhole’s web site additionally solely lists 9 chain integrations which embrace Solana, Terra, Ethereum, Avalanche, Oasis Binance Good Chain, Polygon, Fantom and Aurora.
With Terra falling into a heap, and Ethereum already being supported, it’s unclear what the opposite remaining chains out of the entire of 10 are.
Nonetheless the mission has highlighted the flexibility of Injective to “function the first gateway for cross-chain native property from Solana and different outstanding Layer 1 chains” to enter the ecosystem.
“The choices for customers can prolong far past asset transfers as properly. For example, DApps on Injective might allow seamless cross-chain buying and selling throughout the Cosmos and Solana ecosystems whereas additionally having the ability to provide yields on Solana (or another Wormhole supported asset).”
“Builders using chains akin to Avalanche, Algorand or Polygon can entry property throughout the broader Cosmos ecosystem by way of Injective,” it added.
Cosmos builders will even be capable of incorporate Wormhole’s generic messaging layer and add cross-chain functionalities inside their dApps.

The announcement has finished little to sway the worth of Injective’s native token INJ up to now, with the value dropping 2.6% previously 24 hours to take a seat at $2.21 on the time of writing. The token can be down 91.1% since its all-time excessive of $24.89 in late April 2021, in response to knowledge from CoinGecko.
