Even though it provides cross-chain transactions, Injective Protocol itself is built natively on Ethereum network.
INJ is the native token in the Injective protocol. There are multiple utilities of the INJ token such as staking, governance, trading, transaction fee and collateral. The cross-chain transactions in Injective Protocol enables ERC-20 token to be converted to Cosmos-native token through the Injective Peggy bridge.
