Injective Approves 'Supply Squeeze' With 99.89% Support to Cut INJ Issuance

The change locks in lower issuance to reinforce INJ’s existing buyback-and-burn program.

Overview

  • Governance proposal IIP-617 concluded on Jan. 19 after a four-day vote, clearing an on-chain update to inflation parameters.
  • The framework halves dynamic annual emissions and doubles the overall supply-reduction rate to push INJ into a more deflationary phase.
  • The Community BuyBack continues to repurchase and burn tokens under the revised settings rather than introducing a new buyback scheme.
  • Injective cites roughly 6.85 million INJ already burned since mainnet, with net supply contraction expected to quicken after implementation.
  • Immediate price moves were muted, with a brief bounce that reversed as broader crypto market conditions continued to drive trading.
