Injective just opened a new market connected to the AI industry 👀
What is $SICI?
Think of it as an index that tracks the cost of renting NVIDIA GPUs, the powerful chips used to train and run AI models.
Why does it matter?
As AI grows, demand for computing power increases. This makes the cost of renting GPUs an important part of the AI economy
$SICI brings the rental prices of five different NVIDIA GPUs into one index that people can trade on Injective through perpetual contracts, with up to 10x leverage
In simple terms, Injective is making the cost of powering AI tradable onchain
Note: $SICI is an index, not a new token to buy
The next major financial market for AI is the price of compute.
Today, Injective is officially releasing the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI), bringing a new financial primitive to the onchain AI economy.
For the first time on Injective, traders can access a diversified index of @nvidia GPU rental prices through perpetuals with up to 10x leverage. We also plan to introduce a brand new financial primitive to access $SICI in the coming days.
🟪 A New Onchain Market for the Agentic Economy
Trillions are set to be invested into AI infrastructure. From frontier model training to autonomous agents and inference, demand for compute is becoming one of the defining forces shaping the AI industry. This trend is only accelerating with giants like @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI surging in demand.
Yet financial markets for compute remain largely underdeveloped, with rental prices fragmented across cloud providers and hardware generations.
$SICI changes that. SICI brings five NVIDIA GPU rental rates together into a single onchain benchmark. The index consists of the following:
→ H100 (Industry standard for AI training): 40%
→ B200 (Next-generation AI training and inference): 25%
→ H200 (High-memory AI training and inference): 15%
→ A100 (Fine-tuning and AI inference): 10%
→ RTX 4090 (Consumer GPU for affordable AI inference): 10%
Using hourly compute marketplace data, SICI creates a novel way to access and trade the economics of AI infrastructure.
🌏 Injective is building the onchain financial markets of tomorrow
Injective pioneered the first onchain H100 rental market, launched the $AIX index, and introduced pre-IPO perpetuals for companies including OpenAI, @SpaceX and Anthropic.
$SICI takes this vision further.
First, Injective brought market exposure to the companies building the future of AI onchain.
Now, we're bringing the cost of the infrastructure powering them onchain too. And we will soon be launching entirely new financial primitives to access the onchain agentic economy.
The AI economy is creating entirely new asset classes. Injective is building the financial markets to access them for the first time onchain.

Injective IIP-709: Fixed Gas Requirements Are Now Live
@injective has activated IIP-709, making gas requirements more predictable for selected onchain financial operations.
Instead of relying on transaction-by-transaction gas estimation, supported Exchange Module operations now use predefined gas requirements.
What's included?
• Spot and derivatives order placement
• Order cancellations
• Deposits and withdrawals
• Subaccount transfers
Why does this matter?
More predictable gas requirements can simplify transaction preparation for wallets, trading applications, market makers, and automated systems.
They can also reduce simulation overhead, streamline transaction preparation, and help lower the risk of out-of-gas failures.
With IIP-709 now live, Injective takes another step toward making onchain financial operations more predictable and easier to integrate.

Injective CEO @ericinjective met with officials from the White House, SEC and CFTC in Washington yesterday. He was joined by our General Counsel, Head of Policy and Head of Research.
Injective has quietly built the foundation for tokenization to thrive in America, inside the regulatory framework and in direct collaboration with the U.S. government and major regulatory bodies.
→ Injective Institutional Services became an @SECGov registered transfer agent in August, giving tokenized securities on Injective official ownership records
→ $INJ joined the select group of crypto assets with @CFTC regulated futures listed here in the U.S.
→ Injective Mint gives issuers a compliant way to bring real world assets onchain
→ In 2025 we proposed a time based exemption for DeFi builders to the SEC Crypto Task Force. The SEC issued its Innovation Exemption last month, and we are working to extend that relief so American builders can launch here instead of offshore
→ We filed an additional comment letter with the SEC making the case that DeFi lending is not a securities transaction
→ The Injective Summit brought @WhiteHouse officials, sitting senators and members of Congress from both sides of the aisle together to work on the future of onchain finance
→ The Injective Policy Institute is continuing to work with lawmakers in D.C. on clear rules for tokenization, DeFi and onchain perpetuals
The rules for onchain capital markets are being set right now, and Injective is at the table with the people setting them.

The latest $INJ Community BuyBack round has concluded.
Round #234 introduced @Injective Stockdrop, giving participating addresses a chance to receive tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain, including Tesla and Meta, alongside their share of ecosystem revenue.
Key figures:
• 29,246 $INJ permanently burned
• +15.04% return for participants
• 7,271,032 $INJ total burned
The tokenized stocks provide economic exposure to underlying securities, rather than direct ownership of the companies’ shares.
This round combined:
• INJ supply reduction
• Ecosystem-revenue distribution
• Tokenized-stock exposure on Robinhood Chain
The Injective Stockdrop is live!
The $INJ Community BuyBack is complete, burning over 7.2 million INJ to date. Today, for the first time ever, participants can also earn tokenized stocks.
