🥷 @injective @InjectiveLabsCN Weekly Update (2025.12.22 - 12.28) | Deflationary Push, Ecosystem Integration, and Clear Long-term Narrative

1⃣ Continued Emphasis on Trading Module Capabilities

The community and official content have consolidated and reinforced the core capabilities of Injective's latest trading module: unified institutional-level liquidity, support for matching and trading of any assets and dApps, reducing slippage risk, and alleviating liquidity fragmentation issues. This module is positioned as a key infrastructure for future complex assets (including RWA and structured products).

2⃣ Clear Mid- to Long-term RWA Strategic Signals

The official community communications repeatedly mention the trend of institutional-grade real-world asset onboarding in 2025–2026. Injective will continue to promote RWA tokenization and compliant assets entering high-performance on-chain trading environments, providing scalable settlement and trading channels for institutional funds.

3⃣ 402 Projects Planned to Integrate into Injective Ecosystem

The community is actively discussing the x402 plan to launch on Injective in the future. This project introduces a pay-per-request API model and supports AI agent autonomous economic behaviors, which place higher demands on the underlying network in throughput, latency, and determinism, providing new variables for Injective to expand AI × DeFi application scenarios.

4⃣ Community Deflation Mechanism Continues to Be Implemented

This week, a buyback and burn was completed, totaling 43,199.43 $INJ tokens permanently removed from circulation. Based on the current pace, it is estimated that the total burned amount will exceed 7 million tokens by the first half of 2026, further strengthening the deflationary model and clarifying the supply-side structure.

5⃣ OpenLedger and Injective Complete Ecosystem Integration

OpenLedger has officially integrated with Injective, introducing transparent and verifiable AI execution into the high-speed DeFi environment, supporting autonomous trading and strategy applications including ParadyzeFi, expanding Injective's application boundaries in verifiable computing and AI execution layers.

6⃣ Continued Exposure of High-Performance and Institutional-grade Infrastructure

The community continues to promote MultiVM architecture, high-throughput trading capabilities, and participation of institutional validators, including Kraken supporting Pineapple with approximately $100 million $INJ in staking, further enhancing network security and signals of institutional engagement.

7⃣ Community Activities and Atmosphere Maintenance

Bantr's community activities are ongoing, with a reward pool of 30,000 $INJ tokens; also, community engagement and user stickiness are maintained through holiday greetings and other initiatives.

💡 This week, Injective's keywords focus on "consolidation." Infrastructure, deflationary models, AI, and RWA narratives all continue to advance along the established direction, with ecosystem actions mainly focused on integration and confirming the long-term roadmap. The signals released at this stage are more oriented toward providing a stable foundation for subsequent application deployment and asset expansion, laying the groundwork for the next phase of ecosystem expansion.
