Injective partners with Wormhole to bring 10 new blockchains to the platform
Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Injective (INJ) has partnered with Wormhole to integrate “10 new blockchains” to its network.
Injective is a Cosmos layer-2 decentralized exchange (DEX) that offers derivatives, token swaps and sports betting prediction markets. It is also focused on interoperability via cross-chain bridging, and currently supports digital assets from Ethereum, Polkadot and IBC-enabled chains such as Cosmos.
Injective Labs, the protocol’s developers, noted in a May 25 announcement that the partnership will enable users to transfer and trade assets across any chain that is integrated with Wormhole.
“The Wormhole integration will vastly enhance Injective’s capabilities with respect to interoperability. Users will soon find Wormhole integrated into the backend of the Injective Bridge whereby transferring assets from distinct EVM chains or Solana can be done with the click of a button,” Injective Labs stated.

Wormhole is a generic messaging protocol that interacts with different blockchains, providing services such as cross-chain application support and token bridges.
Not all of the “10 new blockchains” are named specifically. Wormhole’s website also only lists nine chain integrations which include Solana, Terra, Ethereum, Avalanche, Oasis Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Fantom and Aurora.
With Terra falling into a heap, and Ethereum already being supported, it is unclear what the other remaining chains out of the total of 10 are.
