“The Year of the Regenerates” was the motto of this year’s ETH Denver. The Injective Labs team attended in full force for a week-long conference including multiple stage talks, a multitude of business meetings, social events, and thousands of conversations with some of the 25,000+ total attendees at ETH Denver.
Some of the most in demand topics talked about during this year’s conference was tokenization and AI meets blockchain. Both of these topics are where Injective shines best - with the latest launches of stocks, like NVDA on chain, and iAgent. It was a treat getting to know community members new and OG and giving them an update about what Injective is up to and learning about some of the up and coming builders in Injective.
What We Shared
Injective Labs’ CTO, Albert Chon, delivered a keynote presentation on the rise of Multi-VM Environments on Injective. During the keynote Albert discussed the tradeoffs between any VM framework, how Injective enables developers to build using WASM, EVM, and eventually SVM. In addition, Albert shared how Injective has multi-chain interoperability built-in, able to connect to any other ecosystem across Ethereum/L2s, Solana, Polkadot, and Cosmos.
Another Injective Labs team member, Cooper Emmons, who leads Institutional Business Development joined Plume Network’s RWA Day. He joined a panel with other RWA experts from Layer Zero, Movement Labs, and D3 to share how Injective is best suited for RWA’s. Cooper explained that this is due to the chain’s native RWA module, shared liquidity layer, and native interoperability with other blockchain ecosystems.
Another event that Cooper attended and joined a panel on was Gamma Prime’s Tokenized Capital Summit. On Cooper’s panel were speakers from AcquireFi, Akash Network, Beefy Finance, and Bancor. Each of these panelists had a unique perspective on the tokenized asset landscape, while Cooper highlighted Injective’s work bringing TradFi on chain with many recent integrations with top institutions in the space as well as the recent launches of the AI and TradFi index products, bringing equities on chain to trade with leverage.
What We Hosted
Once the main conference started, all eyes focused on the Injective booth. Each day was jam packed with attendees from opening until closing. The Injective team never faded as they spoke to hundreds of new and existing ninjas. The camaraderie continued as people came by to see what Injective is all about, what’s on the roadmap, and to claim some merch like Injective tote bags, t-shirts, and of course the infamous ninja plushie.
The claw machine was a hit! People were falling over themselves just to get a chance to play the claw machine and potentially win a ninja plushie, t-shirt, or hat. Some say Injective has some of the best merch in the crypto game.
On Saturday, the final full day of the conference, the Injective team split into two groups. One group to cover the booth, the other to host the Injective Builder Day at a nearby venue. The Builder Day was hosted at a local Denver brewery, something Denver is famous for!
The Builder Day was a success, with an opening keynote from Injective’s CTO, Albert Chon. Albert’s keynote was then followed up by a slew of ecosystem project demos from Kakeru, B3X.AI, Stargate, Blocksense, and Tria.
After the demos were done, the discussions began and the brews began to flow as the networking and good vibes started.
Outside of the booth and Builder Day, one of the most viral sensations of the event were the Injective billboards scattered around downtown Denver. Throughout the entire event ecosystem partners were sending in pictures and videos of them left and right. Which is your favorite?
What’s Next
After almost a week on the ground in Denver, we come away excited about the future and what it has to offer. We welcome the new ninjas that we met in Denver to the Injective family, whether you are a developer or trader, there’s lots left to do to build the future of finance. As an aside, we look forward to hosting ninjas, new and OG, for our first US based Injective Summit, coming this June.
