🔔 Congrats @injective! Injective started in 2018 as one of the teams in YZi Labs' first incubation cohort. Eight years later, it’s ringing the opening bell at @Nasdaq. The journey: > 2018: @ericinjective was 19, studying finance at NYU and seeing what onchain markets could make possible. He joined our incubator to bring it to life. > 2021: Injective launched mainnet as a Layer 1. > Jun 2025: Eric came back to mentor our EASY Residency founders, sharing lessons from building Injective. > Aug 2025: Eric gave the opening keynote at our EASY Residency Demo Day at the @NYSE. > 2026: Injective set a new mission: infrastructure for institutional finance and tokenized assets onchain. > Nov 2026: Injective rang the opening bell at @Nasdaq. Founders who build, then come back to help the next generation build: it’s the ecosystem YZi Labs set out to create. We look forward to the next eight years with Injective and all of our founders 💛
