Background on the Injective Pro Relayer

The first version of the Injective relayer was released to the public towards the end of last year during the Solstice testnet phase. The early access launch was immediately met with unbelievable community enthusiasm as well as coverage from major publications globally such as TechCrunch.

Over time, a number of key features such as new market filters and mobile responsiveness were integrated onto the interface to heighten the trading experience for everyone.

During the course of the past year, the Injective community played an instrumental role in shaping the future of the project itself. The direct feedback and testing from tens of thousands of community members globally allowed for a number of iterations which has culminated in the creation of Injective Pro.

The New Injective Pro

The aim of Injective Pro is to provide access to the most powerful decentralized trading protocol today.

This section will provide an overview of some of the major upgrades that you will find when using the Injective Pro relayer. Everyone is encouraged to try Injective Pro themselves in order to truly experience all of the changes.

Revamped User Interface

The entire UI has been crafted and designed with traders in mind. The new UI follows the Injective rebrand guidelines and has been systematically improved to ensure that all parameters of the frontend allow for seamless trading.

The overall interface includes a new color palette that is both vibrant and modern. You will notice that the brighter red and green hues lie in stark contrast to the signature dark undertones, helping to draw attention to the most important elements. This is then coupled with a more updated typeface across both letters and numerals which offers better visibility while retaining the overall stylish feel.

Enhanced Homepage

The new homepage offers a great deal of new information that all users will find valuable. Every single dimension of the homepage was meticulously planned after much user testing. The goal of each section is to provide helpful information that users may need before beginning to trade.

The homepage begins with a Getting Started section that helps new users to onboard onto Injective quickly. Anyone can also quickly access key products such as the Injective API and the Injective Hub.

The homepage also offers a quick glimpse into recent news within the ecosystem before delving into the markets section. The markets component now includes a navigation tab where traders can switch between spot and perpetual markets with ease.

Afterwards, you will find an overview about Injective and some of its key differentiators. Finally, there is a community section through which anyone can connect with the rapidly growing Injective community.

Dynamic Markets Slider

All markets on the DEX can be viewed from any page with the help of a much more interactive markets slider. Users can also filter markets quickly in this navigation panel with the help of more robust search functionalities.

Upgraded Markets Page

The trading interface for different markets on Injective Pro has been recreated to improve both visibility and accessibility.

A compact trading window allows anyone to trade in seconds with helpful tooltips placed throughout the page. Some small minor features such as a leverage slider that helps speed up the process of placing a trade on the protocol level.

A real-time orderbook view enables traders to quickly understand some key market dynamics before placing their orders. Open orders, open positions and trade histories are shown at the bottom of the page which helps to vastly expand the information available on the trading window itself.

Modern Portfolio Page

The portfolio page displays your overall portfolio value alongside your open positions and orders. Due to popular demand there is now more information shown on this page such as your unrealized PnL and liquidation price. The addition of this information can help users to have a better grasp of their past trades and provides better context regarding the overall portfolio performance.

Restructured History Page

The history page brings a new look into your entire trade history. In addition, the comprehensive subaccount history is shown so that you can easily track past transfers that occurred on-chain.

Intuitive Wallet Page

The final major page within Injective Pro is the wallet. Here, users can view their balances across distinct assets while also having the ability to transfer assets on the Injective Chain. This will be invaluable for users who wish to have greater context related to their holdings.

Miscellaneous

Behind the scenes, the entire codebase has been refactored, enabling significant performance improvements across Injective Pro. There is also a higher degree of modularity for developers who wish to build new relayers on top of Injective.

Final Thoughts

Injective Pro marks a new chapter for the community. Every aspect of the exchange was upgraded after months of user testing and feedback.

The ultimate goal for everyone within the Injective community is to create a more free and inclusive financial system through decentralization. The Injective Pro relayer is a major step towards achieving this goal as it provides the most powerful decentralized trading experience today.
