Injective’s governance body recently ratified a major update to its tokenomics with the INJ 3.0 system, fundamentally altering its economic structure. The community-led decision aims to enhance the INJ token’s deflationary nature significantly.
Key Modifications to INJ’s Economic Framework
The approved changes diminish INJ’s minting capabilities while introducing new parameters to escalate its deflationary characteristics. According to the governance proposal on April 19, the alterations are projected to amplify INJ’s deflation by a staggering 400% over the next two years.
Previously, INJ operated with wider inflationary parameters, but the new policy tightens these limits. The lower inflation boundary is now set at 4%, and the upper boundary at 7%, effective over the next two years.
This adjustment will be revisited in 2026 to assess its impact and necessary tweaks. Changing the inflation rate parameter from 0.1 to 0.5 will also increase the token’s responsiveness to staking activities.
These adjustments received overwhelming support from the Injective community, with a 99.99% vote endorsing the move. Injective Labs’s CEO, Eric Chen expressed profound enthusiasm for the community’s overwhelming support, underscoring the widespread consensus behind the transformative upgrade.
As of the latest trading data, INJ is priced at $28.54, reflecting a 1.5% increase in the last 24 hours. However, the strategic changes in its economic model are expected to boost its performance in the competitive crypto market space.
