Injective Protocol — Bridging the gap between CeFi and DeFi

Background

When we first began Injective Protocol in 2018, DeFi was still in its gestation phase and nearly all cryptocurrency trading took place on centralized exchanges.
During this time, my cofounder Albert and I had been active traders on numerous centralized exchanges and experienced numerous problems including:
We saw first-hand how centralized exchanges acting as the gatekeepers of the crypto industry would distort natural market dynamics and preventing individuals like us from freely and efficiently allocating our capital. Dealing with these problems day in and day out was incredibly frustrating and made us question why better alternatives for decentralized exchange didn’t exist, especially for an industry whose fundamental purpose is decentralization.

On Decentralizing Exchange

As Harvard’s Thibault Shrepel and Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently wrote:
“Decentralization is sought as a process toward efficiency, not as a moral or political stand. The idea is for all market players to retain the ability to decide without having to follow the instructions of centralized economic power.”
The true value of cryptocurrency comes from its permissionless, censorship-resistant nature, allowing anyone in the world to freely participate in an open and global financial system. To this end, we believe that allowing individuals to engage in exchange without having to trust centralized points of failure is a fundamental necessity and right.
However, the fact remains that for the most part, centralized exchanges (CEXs) today still better serve users than decentralized exchanges (DEXs) currently do. But why?

The Problem with DEXs Today

Liquidity & Layer-1 Constraints

Due to the fact that current DEX models require on-chain transactions for finality, users of DEXs are subject to the inherent constraints of the Ethereum blockchain. Compared to CEXs which can process thousands of trades per second, current DEXs are limited to the 15 second average block time of Ethereum, making trade execution on DEXs slow and probabilistic. Furthermore, most DEXs today require on-chain transactions for order cancellations, exposing market makers to increased risks of front-running and being unable to appropriately respond to market changes.
These technological limitations create a fundamental barrier for DEX liquidity and limit the potential for DEXs to be able to service larger trading volumes.

Centralization

Many DEXs today claim to be decentralized exchanges but are actually centralized in most aspects besides custody. From restricting access to certain user demographics, retaining proprietary control over exchange infrastructure, to even requiring KYC in some cases, every central limit orderbook DEX that we have seen has centralized components that allow traders to be subject to the will of a central authority.
This is the problem that Injective Protocol solves.

Bridging CeFi and DeFi

At Injective Protocol, our mission is to realize the full potential of borderless, decentralized finance. In order to do so, we believe that:
The common rationale against full decentralization is that efficiency and user experience are sacrificed. We at Injective Protocol reject this notion, and have committed ourselves for the past two years to turning the vision of a highly performant, permissionless, and fully-decentralized exchange protocol into reality.

Fully Decentralizing the Exchange Business Model

Injective makes exchange a decentralized public utility by open-sourcing every single component of exchange, from the front-end exchange interface, back-end infrastructure, smart contracts, to orderbook liquidity. This turns the traditional business model of exchange on its head, as we eliminate the technical barrier of entry for one to permissionlessly run a highly performant exchange for both spot and derivatives markets. Instead, nodes on the Injective Chain are incentivized through token economics to act as order relayers, host a decentralized orderbook, and serve as a decentralized trade execution coordinator.

Bringing DEX up to Speed

Injective brings an order of magnitude speedup by scaling trade execution and settlement on layer-2. Additionally, traders can enjoy free and near-instant order cancellations using Injective’s decentralized trade execution coordinator.

Unique Offerings

Derivatives in crypto have huge, proven potential, as this past year alone has experienced a meteoric rise in derivatives trading volume. However, despite their popularity and massive worldwide volume, the derivatives industry is one of the most highly regulated financial markets in the world, placing many strict restrictions on users. This makes Injective’s fully decentralized nature the perfect fit to allow individuals to permissionlessly create and trade derivative markets that even centralized exchanges cannot support.

OLPORTAL This is a brilliant idea like never before,  OLPORTAL  has succeeded in creating the world’s first AI Neurobots Marketplace Digital communication has become the norm of social order today. The messenger application is a must to stay in touch with friends. As these applications evolve, they offer the ability to enter emotions that cannot be exchanged for ordinary text exchanges. “Emojis” and GIFs are becoming popular as a means to add life to other wise, wry chat functions. However, as humans, we are vulnerable to social awkwardness that freezes our communication skills. We may be confused by the right words to say, the right emojis to share — all to convey what is on our minds. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we always knew what was the right thing to say? Wouldn’t it be great if technology, which gave us digital chat prizes, helped us communicate? Welcome to  OLPORTAL  — a decentralized messenger on neural networks with Artificial Intelligence dialogue func
