To say that 2022 was a “monumental” year for Injective is an “understatement,” the developers claim.
This past year, Injective not only “focused on continuing to expand its ecosystem while strengthening the layer one chain, but it also accelerated its reach within the broader Web3 community, generating more news and buzz around its mission than ever before.”
The focus for the community this year was “to continue working towards its primary goal: to build the best blockchain for finance.”
With numerous new integrations, “ranging from creating a more interoperable network to providing easier fiat onboarding solutions, multiple protocols were able to launch on Injective, enabling a wide array of new use cases that can cater to the next billion crypto users.”
Publications, partners and notable leaders all took note, which culminated in a solid raise for Injective, “with $40 million in funding from financial institutions, Jump Crypto and BH Digital.”
As Injective enters 2023, they took a look back on all the progress built this past year.
They claim it is imperative as it “not only shows how far Injective has come but all that can be achieved in one year as it continues to stay in the forefront of driving innovation and adoption of Web3 finance.”
