Introduction

Injective is the fastest Layer 1 blockchain shaping the future of finance. It enables anyone to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) that are fast, secure, and interoperable. Injective has built the largest and fastest growing Web3 financial ecosystem, with a global network of dApps, validators, builders, and partners. In this article, we will explore some of the featured dApps powered by Injective and how they are revolutionizing the Web3 financial space.

DojoSwap

DojoSwap is a Uniswap-inspired automated market-maker (AMM) protocol implemented with smart contracts on the Injective blockchain. The protocol enables a decentralized on-chain exchange for various assets involved in the Injective ecosystem. Users can swap, provide liquidity, and earn rewards with low fees and high speed. DojoSwap also supports cross-chain swaps, allowing users to access assets from other blockchains such as Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. DojoSwap

DojoSwap User-Interface

DojoSwap uses an AMM protocol to facilitate token swaps and liquidity provision. An AMM is a smart contract that automatically determines the price of tokens based on supply and demand, without relying on order books or intermediaries.

Users can participate in DojoSwap as:

  • Traders (Traders can exchange their tokens for others via Dojoswap, with the exchange rate set based on the liquidity pool ratio);
  • Liquidity Providers (Liquidity providers play a key role in DojoSwap. By contributing the equivalent value of two different assets to the liquidity pool, providers increase the liquidity of the platform, contributing to a more robust and sustainable DojoSwap).
  • Staker (Staker can lock in his INJ tokens and get a dINJ)

To swap tokens on DojoSwap, users simply connect their wallet, select a pair of tokens, enter the amount they wish to trade, and complete the transaction. DojoSwap then calculates the best price and executes the exchange. A small fee of 0.3% is taken from the liquidity providers. Users can also check the potential price changes, the price difference, and the minimum amount they’ll receive before completing the swap.

To provide liquidity on DojoSwap, users must contribute equal amounts of two different tokens to the liquidity pool. For example, if someone wants to provide liquidity for the DOJO/INJ pair, they must contribute equal amounts of both DOJO and INJ tokens. In return, users receive Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens, which represent their ownership stake in the pool, along with a commission. Additionally, users have the option to bet their LP tokens on DojoSwap to receive additional rewards, which may include more DOJO, INJ or other tokens.

To participate in staking on DojoSwap, users must deposit their tokens into a smart contract and receive derivative tokens called dTokens in return. For example, if someone wants to stake INJ tokens, they deposit INJ and receive dINJ tokens, which can be used for various purposes such as trading or lending. Users have the flexibility to withdraw their tokens at any time by exchanging their dTokens, “burning” them, and receiving their original tokens back along with any stakes rewards earned.

Helix

Helix is a decentralized exchange that embraces the core values of blockchain technology. By removing the need for a central authority, Helix provides users with a platform that is untrusted and resistant to censorship. This means that users have complete control over their funds, reducing the potential dangers associated with centralized exchanges. In addition, Helix’s decentralized structure makes it less susceptible to front-running, increasing the security of transactions.

Helix User-Interface

On Helix, a decentralized exchange (DEX), users can engage in various activities related to cryptocurrency trading and management:

  • Trading: Users can trade a wide range of cryptocurrencies directly on the Helix platform. Since Helix is decentralized, users can execute trades peer-to-peer without the need for intermediaries or a central authority. This allows for more transparent and efficient trading.
Swap on Helix
  • Token Swapping: Helix enables users to swap one cryptocurrency for another seamlessly. This feature is particularly useful for users who want to quickly exchange between different digital assets without relying on traditional exchanges.
Liquidity Provision on Helix
  • Liquidity Provision: Users can provide liquidity to the Helix platform by depositing their cryptocurrencies into liquidity pools. In return, they receive liquidity provider (LP) tokens, which represent their share of the pool. Liquidity providers earn rewards based on the trading fees generated by the platform.

Hydro Protocol

Hydro Protocol is a LSD Infrastructure protocol that will become the core driver of an LSD-centered ecosystem called LSDFi (LSD Finance). An LSDFi Ecosystem is built on the foundation of a core LSD asset (like Hydro’s hINJ). LSDFi can take many shapes and forms, but the way Hydro is going to do it is to offer Real Yield Assets on the Injective Network.

Hydro Protocol User-Interface

The Hydro Protocol offers three distinctive products that demonstrate the ease of use of liquid staking:

  • Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD): Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD) the primary product of Hydro Protocol that offers Liquid Staking.

  • Farming: Hydro Protocol has a liquid asset yield enhancement product simply called “The Farm”. By using this product, users can find immediate value for their hINJ — all you have to do is stake your minted hINJ for additional yield on your staked tokens. Staking is like an airdrop. You stake, and then you get additional income.
Farming
  • Auto Compounding: Hydro Protocol allows users to “set it and forget it” and take advantage of an auto-compounding feature to maximize their stakes and increase their rewards with INJ assets without having to go through the inconvenience of claiming and re-staking their INJ rewards.
