Injective has added support for Stargate, the omnichain liquidity protocol built on LayerZero, so users can bridge assets directly into Injective from 80+ blockchains. According to Injective’s announcement, assets arrive on Injective as native tokens rather than wrapped intermediaries, and wrapped Ether (wETH) is now natively accessible inside the Injective ecosystem for the first time. Stargate’s own materials describe this integration as part of its broader role as a unified liquidity layer for native asset transfers across chains. The main context is that Injective is a DeFi-focused Layer 1 chain, and Stargate is designed to reduce fragmentation in multichain liquidity by moving native assets through shared pools instead of relying on token wrapping. That matters because native delivery generally simplifies user flows and can improve capital efficiency for trading, lending, and other DeFi activity on Injective. The announcement is also notable because it connects Injective to a large cross-chain routing surface spanning major networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, broadening the set of assets and users that can flow into the chain.
