The price of AI compute is now a market on Injective. We launched the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI) on Monday, and one day later we unveiled Injective Options so anyone can hedge that same cost. Then we opened applications for our first Hacker House with AWS, SMBC Nikko, and more. Below are the biggest developments from a packed week on Injective ⤵️ 🟪 Trade the cost of AI compute with $SICI, a diversified index of NVIDIA GPU rental prices now live as perpetuals with up to 10x leverage. 🟪 Injective Options is live on testnet with fully collateralized calls with initial markets being indicies and commodities. Developers can use it to launch white label options protocols and markets. 🟪 Applications are open for our first Hacker House, where 20 teams will build RWA, privacy, and agentic apps in Bangkok from December 1 to 10 with partners including @awscloud, Animoca Brands, Japanese banking giant SMBC Nikko, $TAO, and Gulf Labs, and the deadline is November 10. xitter.cf/injective/status/21154… 🟪 The Community BuyBack is complete with close to 7.3 million $INJ burned to date, and the first Injective Stockdrop is live so participants can claim tokenized stocks on @Solana, from Nvidia to Tesla. 🟪 The Injective Trench Treasury acquired 5% of the $RUNNER supply from @runupdotfun, the launchpad that brought more than 30,000 unique users to Injective and lets anyone on Solana launch tokens paired with $INJ. 📊 Key Stats 🟪 Builders shipped 2.3K code commits to Injective over the last 30 days, ranking #3 among L1s. 🌐 Ecosystem News 🟪 Staked Looped INJ (sLINJ) is live on @ChoiceXchange, issued by @MidasRWA, giving leveraged $INJ staking exposure in a single token with a target APY of ~12% on Injective EVM. 🟪 Get paid privately with Pay Links from @TryNoxApp, which let anyone send any coin from any chain to your Injective wallet as $INJ or USDC with no onchain transfer linking you to the sender. 🟪 12.7M USDC has migrated to Injective, according to the Q3 recap from @cosmoshub. 🟪 Injective exchange dApps saw $417M traded over the past 7 days, pushing cumulative volume to $84.6B. Compute got a price this week and away to hedge it a day later. Hacker House applications close November 10, so start building and apply today!

Happy Halloween ninjas 🎃 Get ready for the best November yet.

The cost of AI compute is becoming a major financial market, and Injective is now making it possible to hedge that cost with options. Hundreds of billions of dollars are flowing into AI infrastructure, with demand expected to accelerate as model training, inference and autonomous agents scale globally. Yet despite this growth, financial markets for GPU compute remain largely undeveloped. Injective recently introduced the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI), the first onchain index tracking rental prices across five NVIDIA GPUs. Now, with the launch of Injective Options, that same index can be used to hedge against changes in GPU pricing. → AI companies can purchase $SICI calls to help protect against rising compute costs. → GPU infrastructure providers can purchase puts to help offset declining rental prices. This is only one example of what’s now possible. Developers can leverage the recently unveiled new options infrastructure on $INJ to launch white label exchanges, create custom derivatives markets and build entirely new financial products without developing the underlying technology from scratch. The initial launch also supports options across US equities, gold, silver and oil, with fully collateralized contracts backed by native Injective USDC. As the AI economy grows, Injective is bringing the financial infrastructure needed to trade and manage its underlying costs onchain.
