Injective, a layer-1 blockchain network, produced no new block for nearly four hours during an emergency response to an exploit on August 31. ^[1] Researchers estimate about $4.9 million was bridged to Ethereum during the exploit, with that amount remaining in an attacker-linked wallet. ^[2] The Injective foundation stated on September 1 that the blockchain was 'upgraded, not halted' and that its consensus and native INJ assets were never compromised. ^[3] Injective launched the private beta of Injective Mint on September 2, 2026, a platform designed to simplify the tokenization and lifecycle management of real-world assets. ^[4] Injective (INJ) is trading at $4.83 as of September 1, 2026, down 3.75% in the last 24 hours, with a 24-hour low of $4.80. ^[5] The ledger shows block 181027005 at 16:09:59 UTC on August 31 before block production stopped for roughly four hours. ^[6] Injective Mint enables institutions to issue, configure, and control tokenized financial products such as treasuries, funds, and stablecoins within a unified environment. ^[7] Injective Mint integrates compliance and operational controls directly into the blockchain, allowing issuers to define asset rules via a guided interface. ^[8]
