Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Injective (INJ) has partnered with Wormhole to integrate “10 new blockchains” to its network.
Injective is a Cosmos (ATOM) 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 (ETH), Polkadot (DOT) and IBC-enabled chains such as Cosmos.
Injective Labs, the protocol’s developers, noted in a Wednesday 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 (SOL) can be done with the click of a button,” Injective Labs stated.
Injective announces new integration with @WormholeCrypto ‼️
Wormhole brings ten new chains, such as @Avalancheavax and @Solana, to Injective’s already interoperable chain, making Injective the primary gateway to enter the @cosmos universe ⚛️ https://t.co/Zu8belwh7d

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 (LUNA), Ethereum (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX), Oasis Binance Smart Chain, Polygon (MATIC), Fantom (FTM) and Aurora (AOA).
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.
However, the project has highlighted the ability of Injective to “serve as the…
