Full Story

ICON has seamlessly integrated with Injective through the Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. After integrating Cosmos IBC into its interoperability layer, ICON is rapidly moving to integrate with key chains in the Cosmos ecosystem. The latest integration is with Injective, the leading primary layer-1 blockchain that focuses on DeFi and interoperability.

Choosing Injective as a strategic collaborator is a natural progression for ICON. Injective stands out with its innovative infrastructure and cross-chain interoperability.
