Balanced Integrates Injective (INJ) to Enhance Cross-Chain DeFi
Balanced,
a
cross-chain
platform
enabling
users
to
borrow,
swap,
and
bridge
native
assets,
has
gone
live
on
the
Injective
(INJ)
mainnet.
This
integration
introduces
the
overcollateralized
bnUSD
stablecoin
to
the
Injective
ecosystem,
enhancing
its
cross-chain
DeFi
capabilities,
according
to
the
Injective
Blog.
Enhanced
DeFi
Functionalities
With
the
launch,
Balanced
allows
users
to
borrow
its
native
stablecoin
(bnUSD),
swap
assets
cross-chain,
and
transfer
assets
to
Injective
from
any
network
integrated
with
Balanced.
Users
can
expect
near-instant
transaction
finalization
and
minimal
fees,
a
hallmark
of
Injective’s
dApps.
Users
can
borrow
up
to
two-thirds
of
their
collateral
value
in
bnUSD,
which
can
be
utilized
across
supported
Injective
DeFi
protocols.
The
platform
imposes
a
fixed
0.2%
loan
fee
and
a
2%
annual
interest
rate.
The
debt
is
linked
to
the
collateral’s
value
and
can
be
repaid
from
any
chain
at
any
time,
leveraging
bnUSD’s
native
cross-chain
functionality.
Cross-Chain
Asset
Swapping
Balanced
also
facilitates
cross-chain
asset
swaps.
For
instance,
a
user
holding
ETH
on
Arbitrum
can
seamlessly
swap
to
INJ
on
Injective
in
a
single
click.
Liquidity
providers
will
share
in
50%
of
the
fees
generated
from
traders.
Traders
will
encounter
a
variable
bridge
fee
based
on
trade
size
and
a
0.3%
swap
fee
for
each
step
in
the
trade
route.
Any
supported
native
asset
can
be
sent
cross-chain
to
be
used
within
the
Injective
ecosystem.
Users
simply
select
the
desired
asset
and
destination
chain,
completing
the
transaction
in
one
click.
