# Injective releases tokenomics update By [Evgen_by | Injective](https://paragraph.com/@evgen-by-injective) ยท 2023-08-22 --- Injective releases tokenomics update that will significantly increase weekly INJ burns Injective, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the blockchain, today announced the release of a tokenomics update that will significantly increase weekly INJ burn. The update allows any decentralized application (dApp) created on Injective to participate in the INJ burn auction with no restrictions on the amount of their fees they wish to burn. This update is a significant step forward for the Injective ecosystem as it will allow more INJ tokens to be burned and thus reduce the overall supply. This, in turn, will make INJ more valuable and attractive to investors. How the update works The upgrade works as follows: * Decentralized applications (dApps) on Injective can contribute their fees to the INJ burn auction. * Fees contributed to the auction will be burned, reducing the total INJ supply. * The burn auction will take place every week and the winner of the auction will receive all burned INJ tokens. Benefits of upgrading The upgrade has several benefits, including: * Will reduce INJ's overall offering, making it more valuable and attractive to investors. * Will increase decentralization of the Injective network, as more dApps will be able to participate in the burn auction. * Will stimulate the development of the Injective ecosystem, as dApps will be interested in creating apps that generate revenue that can be contributed to the burn auction. Conclusion Injective's tokenomics update is an important step forward for the Injective ecosystem. It will allow more INJ tokens to be burned and thus reduce the overall supply. This, in turn, will make INJ more valuable and attractive to investors. In addition, the upgrade will increase the decentralization of the Injective network and stimulate the development of the Injective ecosystem. --- *Originally published on [Evgen_by | Injective](https://paragraph.com/@evgen-by-injective/injective-releases-tokenomics-update)*
