Have you ever felt that lag when performing cross-chain operations? I have. Every time I switch between different protocols, it always feels like something is off—until I encountered Injective.

This chain is different from many "jack of all trades" public chains. From the very beginning, it was clear about its purpose: I just want to focus on finance. No involvement with NFTs, no games, just concentrating on perfecting the transaction process. I think this positioning is quite smart.

Its underlying architecture is designed for financial transactions. Order book trading is not a forced feature here, but an inherent capability. What does it feel like to use? Fast and precise. Unlike some platforms, there always seems to be a "layer in between" when an order is executed.

Recently, I have been paying special attention to its token burn mechanism. Every week, ecological income is used to buy back INJ and then burn it. This design is actually quite clever — the more prosperous the ecosystem, the scarcer INJ becomes. Those who hold the tokens can directly enjoy the dividends of network growth, not just through empty talk, but by using real money to achieve deflation.

This creates a positive feedback loop: as trading volume increases, the amount of tokens burned also rises; as the supply decreases, the value gets supported; and then it attracts more people to participate. Once this flywheel starts turning, the effect is quite noticeable.

For me, the most appealing aspect of Injective is that it does not attempt to become "the second Ethereum." It focuses on what it excels at—bringing the experience of decentralized finance close to that of centralized exchanges. I believe this is the right direction.
