History[edit]
In March 2021, Injective Labs acquired a Banksy artwork titled "Morons (White)" for $95,000 from Taglialatella Galleries in New York.[4][5][6][7] The company subsequently destroyed the artwork in a public act of burning, which was broadcast live on their Twitter account, BurntBanksy.[8][9]
In May 2022, the company integrated Wormhole to boost its cross-chain capabilities, streamlining asset transfers across multiple blockchains.[10]
In August 2022, Injective Labs raised US$40 million to be used to create a layer 1 blockchain optimized for financial applications.[11]
In January 2023, as reported by TechCrunch, launched its $150 million venture group to support decentralized applications (dApps) built on Injective.[12]
