Republic, the global investment platform offering private investment and institutional-grade tokenization opportunities, has joined Injective as its latest validator.
Republic joins Injective to further grow Injective’s rapidly expanding tokenization efforts while also contributing to the Injective ecosystem as a validator. Together, the two companies will continue to push forward Injective’s vision of truly bringing together the world of traditional and on-chain finance.
What is Republic?
Republic is a group of companies, including a leading on-chain investment ecosystem, leveraging its cutting-edge global financial infrastructure to redefine global accessibility and optimize capital efficiency.
At its core, Republic began as a fundraising platform for private companies, having facilitated the raise of $3 Billion to date.
Over the years, Republic has selectively begun to operate validator nodes on prominent networks. Today, Republic’s institutional-grade staking infrastructure powers more than 100 validator nodes across 35+ blockchains such as Avalanche and Sui.
Most recently Republic has begun its ventures into tokenization, having deployed over 50 tokenized assets to date. For instance, the Republic Note is a dividend-paying digital security that offers investors exposure to 750+ private assets held by certain companies within the Republic Ecosystem.
Republic’s Role in the Injective Ecosystem
By becoming a validator, Republic is bolstering the Injective ecosystem across a diverse set of verticals. Republic has deployed its validator node on Injective, ensuring greater security and scalability. Republic joins the ranks of prominent companies and institutions that have recently joined Injective as validators, including Google Cloud, Deutsche Telekom, and Galaxy Digital.
The addition of Republic as a validator is particularly important for Injective's expansion in the institutional sector. As a leader in the Web3 marketplace, Republic’s participation is at the forefront of a broader institutional pivot towards on-chain technologies including blockchains, dApps, and more.
“Launching a validator to secure the Injective network is an exciting first step in establishing a deeper suite of integrations across Injective’s ecosystem. From RWAs to innovative DeFi products, we are excited to expand our Web3 footprint on Injective by bringing a new legion of institutional and retail users on-chain,” said Kendrick Nguyen, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Republic.
Republic’s validation service reinforces Injective’s scalability, enabling greater institutional engagement through advanced asset tokenization efforts.
"Having Republic onboard as a validator is yet another sign of confidence from a major institutional player in the Injective ecosystem. We're looking forward to collaborating with the Republic team to expand our shared tokenization efforts," remarked Eric Chen, Co-Founder and CEO at Injective Labs.
Republic and Injective aim to broaden their collaboration over time into other areas such as asset tokenization. Injective has begun to pioneer multiple innovative real world asset offerings such as the BlackRock BUIDL Fund Index, its Tokenized AI Stock Index and its most recent TradFi Stock Index. These products are designed to provide Injective users with on-chain exposure to traditional equity performance.
Institutional Expansion on Injective
As more institutional players recognize the value of blockchain and Web3, Injective continues to lead the charge in bringing together traditional industries and novel applications across the DeFi landscape.
Republic’s participation aims to help Injective bring institutional-grade security and performance to the network, making it an attractive platform for both developers and users in the growing decentralized financial ecosystem, particularly in areas such as real-world asset tokenization and institutional trading. This collaboration marks a significant step in Injective’s continued mission of bringing traditional finance to the on-chain world.
