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 change (DEX) that provides derivatives, token swaps and sports activities betting prediction markets. It’s also centered on interoperability by way of cross-chain bridging, and at present 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 might be executed with the click on of a button,” Injective Labs acknowledged.
Injective pronounces new integration with @WormholeCrypto ‼️
Wormhole brings ten new chains, akin to @Avalancheavax and @Solanato Injective’s already interoperable chain, making Injective the major gateway to enter the @cosmos universe ⚛️ https://t.co/Zu8belwh7d

Wormhole is a generic messaging protocol that interacts with completely different blockchains, offering companies akin to cross-chain software help and token bridges.
Not all of 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 right into a heap, and Ethereum already being supported, it’s unclear what the different remaining chains out of the complete of 10 are.
Nonetheless the undertaking has highlighted the capacity of Injective to “function the major 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 effectively. As an illustration, 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 every other Wormhole supported asset).”
“Builders using chains akin to Avalanche, Algorand or Polygon can entry property inside the broader Cosmos ecosystem by way of Injective,” it added.
Cosmos builders can even find a way to incorporate Wormhole’s generic messaging layer and add cross-chain functionalities inside their dApps.

The announcement has executed little to sway the worth of Injective’s native token INJ to this point, with the value dropping 2.6% in the previous 24 hours to sit at $2.21 at the time of writing. The token can be down 91.1% since its all-time excessive of $24.89 in late April 2021, in accordance to information from CoinGecko.
