Injective has published a comprehensive rewrite of its whitepaper for the first time since December 2018, repositioning the network as a Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to institutional-grade finance and asset tokenization. The updated documentation outlines a native real-world asset (RWA) tokenization mechanism and iAssets derivatives that support the full lifecycle of tokenized assets, from issuance and trading through to settlement. The protocol features a fully on-chain central limit order book with unified price clearing via sealed high-frequency batch auctions, while BFT consensus delivers deterministic finality with approximately 600-millisecond block times. The whitepaper also details native EVM and WASM support, perpetual contract risk management frameworks, AI agent finance integration, and a revenue model directing on-chain protocol fees into regular INJ community buybacks.
