With this outcome, the protocol\u2019s inflation parameters have now been officially updated on-chain. The newly accepted framework permanently tightens INJ token issuance while strengthening existing burn mechanisms, increasing pressure on the circulating supply.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1669\">The approved model aims for a faster contraction of INJ supply over time. Compared to the previous structure, a significant increase in the pace of deflation is expected, with the goal of better aligning token supply with network usage and protocol revenues. This approach is designed to create a tokenomic structure that supports long-term supply-demand balance. Injective\u2019s existing Community BuyBack program remains a key component of this process. The protocol regularly repurchases INJ tokens using ecosystem revenues and removes them from circulation. Under the new model, the combination of reduced issuance and buyback-and-burn mechanisms further intensifies supply pressure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1669\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62076 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/INJ-300x111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/INJ-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/INJ.jpg 595w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1671\" data-end=\"1703\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amount_of_INJ_Burned_to_Date\"><\/span>Amount of INJ Burned to Date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"2123\">Since the launch of its mainnet, Injective has removed approximately 6.85 million INJ tokens from circulation, gradually reducing the overall supply. With the new deflationary framework, this approach has become a central and permanent element of the token economy. By positioning long-term supply reduction as a sustainable, revenue-backed policy, the protocol aims to strengthen the economic balance of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2481\">On the market side, the initial reaction to the governance result was limited. Following the approval of the proposal, the INJ price briefly increased by around 2% before pulling back. Influenced by the broader crypto market downturn, INJ has declined by approximately 10% over the past 24 hours and is trading around the $4.7 level at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2497\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assessment\"><\/span>Assessment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2498\" data-end=\"2884\">Injective\u2019s new deflationary phase aims to establish a more disciplined, controlled, and revenue-driven structure for INJ supply. In the long term, this approach could create a more robust and predictable economic foundation capable of supporting token value. However, short-term price movements are expected to remain closely tied to overall market trends and macroeconomic conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3229\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">Also, you can freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
