Injective’s approval of its IIP‑619 mainnet upgrade signals a major step toward scaling its real‑time EVM infrastructure and strengthening support for next‑generation payments.

Injective said its latest mainnet upgrade proposal (IIP‑619) has been approved, marking a significant step in the platform’s plan to expand its real‑time EVM infrastructure and strengthen support for emerging payment use cases. The project stated that the upgrade is intended to “significantly scale Injective’s real‑time EVM architecture while also enhancing its capabilities to support next‑gen payments.”

The update introduces major performance improvements to Injective’s MultiVM framework and refines its integration of real‑world asset data through Chainlink oracles, enabling more efficient real‑time price feeds. It also broadens the functionality of a shared liquidity layer designed to support a wider range of applications across the network.
