Behind every successful blockchain lies powerful technology. Injective is no exception.
Tendermint Consensus
Injective is built on the Cosmos SDK and uses the Tendermint proof-of-stake consensus. This ensures:
- High throughput.
- Low transaction costs.
- Strong security against malicious actors.
Interoperability via IBC
Injective integrates the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC), enabling seamless asset transfers across multiple chains. This makes it possible to trade tokens from different ecosystems in a single place.
On-Chain Order Book
Unlike most DEXs that use Automated Market Makers (AMMs), Injective features a fully decentralized order book. This design mirrors centralized exchanges in speed and efficiency while maintaining decentralization.
