🚀 April Update: Binance Supports Injective Mainnet, First-Ever Bored Ape NFT Floor Perpetuals, and more!

The team has been busy launching new markets, integrating even more networks, and pushing forth innovative concepts never seen before on any other exchange.

For a recap of April, check out this highlight reel 👇

1. Injective Pro Launches First Bored Ape NFT Floor Price Perpetuals

Injective Pro, the premier fully-decentralized derivatives exchange built on Injective, is now the first-ever exchange to list an NFT floor price perpetual market with the BAYC/WETH listing.

The magnitude of this achievement cannot be overstated. This serves as the first NFT floor perpetual market listed. Ever.

Users can now trade the popular BAYC NFT collection with as little as $1. This milestone has received widespread attention including a feature article on Blockworks.

2. Binance Enables Native INJ Deposits and Withdrawals

Native INJ deposits and withdrawals are now supported by Binance, making Injective one of the first-ever Cosmos SDK-based chains have mainnet support from Binance.

This integration brings value to the Injective ecosystem by providing lower fees and barriers to entry, which will pave the way to mass adoption.

3. INJ Burn Auction

1/ 405,219.11 $INJ burned to date 🔥

Every week, 60% of all fees collected from DApps built on Injective are burned through auctions. The INJ burn auction is unique in that it helps accrue value for the entire Injective ecosystem.
