IIP-64 is open for discussion: Post-Quantum Cryptography. 🛡️
Following recent quantum breakthroughs, we're evolving IoTeX's core cryptography from "classical ECDSA" to secure IoTeX against next-gen quantum threats.
Here’s the proposal:
🛡️Post-Quantum Security — Migrating from secp256k1 to ML-DSA-65
⚡Tailored for IoTeX — Optimized for 5s block finality and Roll-DPoS consensus.
📈 Proactive Defense — Aligning with NIST standards to secure user assets。
Read the full proposal and share your thoughts👇
🛠Infrastructure upgrades are on the way as IoTeX v2.4.0 mainnet goes live on June 7, followed by Boson Protocol mainnet on June 8
These updates point to steady progress behind the scenes, with foundational rails built for the next wave of crypto adoption

everyone wants to become the infrastructure underpinning the next generation of finance.
almost every chain claims to have the speed, scalability, and developer tooling needed to support trillions of dollars moving onchain.
but very few are actually optimizing for that future and that's why vulcan matters.
this was launched on june 4, 2026 following overwhelming governance support, injective's vulcan upgrade isn't a cosmetic update designed to generate headlines for a news cycle.
it's a deliberate repositioning focused on strengthening the three things institutional adoption actually depends on:
> accurate pricing
> efficient execution
> reliable asset infrastructure
the most significant change comes through injective's rebuilt oracle engine.
oracles sit quietly beneath every serious financial application as they determine collateral values, trigger liquidations, price derivatives, and influence lending decisions worth millions of dollars.
when oracle systems become expensive or slow, the consequences ripple across entire ecosystems.
the introduction of vulcan fixes this directly.
the upgrade reduces oracle gas costs by approximately 90% while integrating both pyth pro and seda natively into injective's infrastructure. that combination matters more than most people realize.
■■
> for traders: vulcan means tighter market conditions and fewer situations where outdated pricing leads to unnecessary liquidations.
> for developers: it removes major constraints.
> for institutions: it reduces one of the most overlooked forms of operational risk.
vulcan also introduces native oracle accessibility across @injective's evm environment through a dedicated oracle precompile.
while that may sound like a minor technical improvement, its implications are significant.
for developers, this means:
building within injective's multi-vm architecture no longer requires fragmented third-party integrations just to access reliable pricing data.
canonical injective prices are now available directly inside evm smart contracts, reducing complexity while improving consistency across applications.
the result is less middleware, fewer dependencies, and more reliable infrastructure.
this same philosophy extends to vulcan's approach to stablecoins and real-world assets.
the market has spent years talking about rwa adoption as though it were inevitable. but tokenization requires more than enthusiasm.
it demands asset standards capable of meeting institutional requirements, alongside pricing systems sophisticated enough to support increasingly diverse forms of collateral.
vulcan strengthens injective's asset standards while continuing the expansion of its canonical circle usdc framework.
combined with the circle usdc and cctp integration introduced earlier in may, injective now offers a significantly cleaner stablecoin experience. users gain access to native dollar liquidity moving securely across ecosystems without relying on wrapped assets.
with vulcan now live, injective has made its intentions clear.
it isn't trying to become just another defi destination.
it's positioning itself to become the settlement layer for onchain finance itself.
Ninjas, $INJ is slowly moving beyond pure crypto markets and stepping directly into regulated global finance.
A major signal just came from Asia:
The first regulated Injective-focused fund in Asia is officially LIVE M-INJ by Merkle Capital, fully supervised under Thailand’s SEC.
For the first time, both retail and institutional investors across Asia can now get compliant exposure to $INJ through traditional finance rails.
Meaning:
➔ no crypto exchanges
➔ no wallets
➔ no self-custody complexity
➔ just regulated access through a licensed investment structure
M-INJ launched on June 4, 2026 and mainly focuses on $INJ while dynamically allocating into USDC and stablecoins depending on market conditions.
Another important detail 🕵️♂️
Merkle Capital was Thailand’s first licensed digital asset fund manager, and M-INJ became one of the few single-asset funds they launched.
At the same time in the US:
➔ Injective Policy Institute is already active in Washington working around onchain finance policy
➔ regulated INJ futures already launched through CFTC-regulated Bitnomial
➔ 21Shares + Canary ETF filings continue progressing
So now the same asset $INJ is slowly opening regulated pathways across both Asia and the US.
Meanwhile Injective keeps expanding across:
➔ RWAs
➔ tokenization
➔ stablecoins
➔ DeFi
➔ onchain financial infrastructure
And another thing many people overlook:
➥ Injective mainnet has operated for 4+ years without halts
➥ entire INJ supply is already circulating
➥ $INJ 3.0 keeps reducing supply through buybacks & burns
Feels like real institutional rails around $INJ are starting to light up globally 🥷
Maganda ang naging buwan ng Mayo para sa @injective.
Habang marami ang nahirapan sa merkado,
nagtala naman ang $INJ ng 86.63% na pagtaas
Kung ganito ang naging takbo ng Mayo,
ano kaya ang naghihintay para sa atin ngayong Hunyo?
Injective just relaunched their Ambassador Program and this one actually pays
monthly INJ rewards, cleaner ranks, real contribution guidelines
if you're already posting about Injective you should be getting compensated for it 🧵
Most chains grow users or volume.
@injective is growing both. At the same time.
The numbers right now:
< 86,200 daily active users
< $4.8B trading volume in 30 days
Why does this combination matter?
• High users + high volume = real organic activity
• Not airdrop farming. Not bot traffic.
• Just a chain people are actually using every day.
What's driving it?
> Vulcan Mainnet upgrade live
> Native USDC $77B in regulated liquidity
> US-regulated futures via Bitnomial
> Multiple INJ ETFs under review
Four catalysts. One direction.
This is not hype.
This is adoption.
@injective daily active users just hit 91,500 a brand new all-time high. Look at that chart. Jan 2022 to June 2026.
Near zero for years. Then one direction. Straight up.
What changed?
> 2022-2023 chain launching, infrastructure building
> Mid 2025 ecosystem exploding, users noticing
> June 2026 91,500 daily active users.
ATH. Why does this number matter? More active users > more transactions daily More transactions > more fees generated More fees > more $INJ burned permanently More burns > shrinking supply. Forever. One chart.
Four years of building. One conclusion. injective didn't buy its users. It earned them. 🥷
$INJ gained +86.63% in May 2026, #1 on the Coinbase 50 Index. In a bear market.
Coinbase points to two factors: native Circle integration and the upcoming Vulcan network upgrade.
@injective outpaced $NEAR (+12 points), took a 28-point lead against $XLM, and surpassed the 65.98-point difference against Render Network’s +20.65%.
As Coinbase Institutional named INJ specifically, it is now considered an institutional signal.
- The Vulcan upgrade increases protocol efficiency
- Circle's integration provides onchain dollar settlement
That +86% came while most assets were declining. The market hasn't turned yet.
Your feedback matters here on station too.
What has been unclear, buggy, or missing in your Station experience so far?
Migration flow, vault shares, app UX, swaps, chains, features -- tell us what you want improved or added next.
We’re listening, and always improving.
Sonic's Vertical Integration is outperforming expectations right out of the gate.
In the first 10 weeks, early VI revenue produced ~400% more deflationary impact than fee-related burns over the same window.
This is only from $USSD and @MetropolisDEX vault activity.
The full VI model has barely started.
Revenue is probably the most important metric right now when people look at a token before buying.
If a chain has no real revenue - it’s not interesting to anyone.
injective-protocol:native came in 8th place among all L1 blockchains for the last 30 days with $216.2K in revenue.
This puts them ahead of many hyped L1s that talk loud but deliver little.
Quiet strength again. This is exactly why I keep saying Injective ( @injective ) is different.
Pay attention to these numbers⚡
