Injective Refresher Review by Jesse

Welcome to this week's coin review where we take the time to research some of the latest projects available so you don’t have to. With a pretty dull market the last few weeks, a few new projects are launching amidst the new years' uncertainties. Aside from a few one off 50% bumps for a couple of select projects, everything else is either continuing its downtrend or holding that sideways momentum. With all that going on, we’re going to change things up just a bit this week and introduce a new “Flashback” variation of our usual weekly review. With so many great projects covered so early in their lifecycle, it only makes sense that we’d revisit some select projects that have come a long way since we first discussed their protocol. To kick off our first interaction we’ll be taking a look back at Injective Protocol to update everyone on exciting new developments and those on the horizon. It has been a long time since we interviewed them back in October 2020!
