**[Injective Releases New Whitepaper, Focuses on Institutional-Grade Finance and Tokenization]** BlockBeats News, October 7 — Injective has released a new version of its whitepaper, marking the first comprehensive rewrite since the initial version was published in December 2018. The original whitepaper focused on anti-front-running trading protocols on Ethereum, while the new version positions Injective as a Layer 1 blockchain tailored for institutional-grade finance and asset tokenization, covering the full lifecycle of tokenized assets from issuance, trading, to settlement. The whitepaper introduces a native RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization mechanism, allowing role-based permissions for minting, sending, receiving, and burning assets. iAssets leverage stablecoin collateral and oracle-based pricing to provide derivatives that track external assets without requiring wrapping or pre-funding. Tokenized assets are traded on a centralized limit order book across the entire chain, with sealed high-frequency batch auctions conducted per block to clear trades at a unified price, mitigating front-running and transaction ordering MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). The BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus mechanism ensures deterministic finality, with a block time of approximately 600 milliseconds. The new whitepaper also covers native EVM and WASM environments sharing the same state, perpetual contract risk management, and AI-powered financial agents. These agents can operate tokenized assets via MCP servers, strategy-constrained signatures, and x402 machine payments denominated in USDC. On-chain protocol revenue will flow into periodic INJ community buybacks. [Original Link]
