Recently, everyone in the market is obsessed with discussing TPS, as if higher throughput is the ultimate goal. After trying out various chains, I found one that takes a completely different approach.

Most public chains are piling on hardware and chasing bigger numbers, all aiming to handle more transactions per second. But Injective’s MultiVM architecture isn’t about playing the speed game—it’s focused on optimizing “response pathways.”

Here’s the thing: In traditional multi-chain environments, each chain and each application basically run in isolation, and syncing data takes a convoluted route. With this kind of parallel multi-VM design, different modules interact like a neural network—when the state of one contract changes, related applications can instantly sense it, without waiting for cross-chain bridges or oracles to slowly relay the message.

This “synchronous response” mechanism could be more effective for real-time interactive DeFi scenarios than just high TPS alone. After all, no matter how fast you are, if your information isn’t in sync, it’s useless.
