Injective is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK, purpose-built for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications such as decentralized exchanges, prediction markets, and lending protocols. It features full EVM compatibility, allowing developers to deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts while benefiting from fast finality and low transaction costs.
See the Injective API quickstart guide to start building on Injective.
The Injective API lets you interact with the Injective mainnet. You can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the Injective network using the JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Injective is EVM compatible.
Injective uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API enables blockchain interaction on the Injective network, letting you read block and transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.
Injective supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Check the Injective API endpoints documentation for a complete list.
When you access the Injective network through a node provider like Alchemy, you use an API key to send transactions and retrieve data. We recommend you sign up for a free API key.
Common Ethereum libraries like ethers.js are compatible with Injective, given its EVM nature.
