Learn how to launch tokens paired with INJ and find reward-paying tokens on StonkFun. INJ trades at $7.78 with a $763M market cap as of Sept 2026.
Injective (INJ), the native token of the Injective blockchain, can now be used to launch and reward tokens on StonkFun, according to a detailed guide published by Injective. This feature allows users to create tokens paired with INJ or find existing tokens that distribute holder rewards in INJ.
StonkFun integrates Sunrise INJ, a Solana-based version of the token, and requires users to connect their Phantom wallet to get started. INJ, priced at $7.78 with a market cap of $763.36 million as of September 21, 2026, has seen growing adoption in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, including this latest token launch capability.
How StonkFun Works with INJ
StonkFun offers two main use cases for INJ holders. First, users can launch a new token paired with INJ as the quote asset. Second, they can filter the platform for tokens that reward holders with INJ through transfer taxes. These features align with Injective’s push to integrate INJ across multiple ecosystems, including its recent launch on Solana through Sunrise.
Key steps to launch a token include selecting INJ as the quote token, setting a fee model (e.g., standard or reward), and reviewing launch costs. The platform uses SOL for transaction fees, while INJ serves as the trading pair. Reward tokens apply a permanent transfer tax, distributing proceeds proportionally to token holders.
For those interested in exploring existing tokens, users can filter for INJ pairs on StonkFun’s homepage. Tokens with holder rewards are marked with a gift icon. Reward details, including payout schedules and minimum holding requirements, are available on each token’s page.
Broader Context for INJ
This development comes as Injective continues to expand its footprint in the DeFi space. Just days ago, Injective USDC was adopted as the canonical standard across Cosmos and dYdX, while over $100 million in liquidity was migrated onto the blockchain. INJ also saw integration with Solana on September 17, with platforms like Raydium and StonkFun named as launch partners.
INJ’s tokenomics further bolster its appeal. The asset operates under a deflationary model, where on-chain revenue is used for buybacks and burns, reducing circulating supply. With no future unlocks, INJ’s fully distributed nature adds another layer of scarcity, making it a compelling choice for both traders and developers.
Trading Implications
For traders, the ability to pair projects with INJ strengthens its utility within the Solana and Injective ecosystems. It also adds a new use case for Sunrise INJ, potentially driving demand. With a 1.30% price increase over the past 24 hours, INJ’s market activity appears to reflect this growing utility.
For developers, the StonkFun integration offers a streamlined way to launch tokens while leveraging the reputation and liquidity of INJ. The reward token functionality could attract more projects that aim to incentivize community participation using transfer taxes paid in INJ.
Looking Ahead
As INJ adoption grows through integrations like StonkFun, its utility as a DeFi asset continues to deepen. Developers looking to launch tokens can use this new capability to tap into INJ’s established user base, while traders may want to monitor activity on StonkFun for potential opportunities in reward-distributing tokens.
With INJ fully integrated into Solana and supporting a diverse range of applications, its role in the broader DeFi ecosystem is increasingly significant. Whether launching new projects or earning rewards, INJ holders have more options than ever.
