What is Injective (INJ)?
Injective is the native cryptocurrency of the Injective Protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Cosmos blockchain. It is designed to facilitate decentralized trading, including derivatives, futures and spot markets, without relying on a centralized exchange. INJ serves multiple roles in the ecosystem, including governance, staking and acting as collateral for trading. Users can also participate in decentralized governance by voting on proposals that shape the protocol’s future. INJ aims to create a more efficient, scalable and permissionless financial system.
Check out our What is Injective (INJ)? article to learn more about the protocol.
What is crypto staking?
Crypto staking allows holders of certain cryptocurrencies to earn a reward in return for helping to secure the blockchain network. Staking utilizes a series of incentives and penalties in order to ensure the reliable operation of proof-of-stake-based blockchain networks.

What is bonded staking?
Bonded staking is a way for you to earn even higher rewards on the crypto you hold. While you always have the ability to stake and unstake in moments with flexible staking on Kraken, bonded staking allows you to earn higher rewards for locking-up your crypto for a short amount of time.
