The @injective Chain has a built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) module, not a smart contract.

Unlike Ethereum or even most Cosmos chains, where DEXs are apps deployed as smart contracts, Injective has a native exchange module at the chain level.

This DEX module supports:
Fully decentralized on-chain orderbook execution
Zero gas fees for trades (paid by relayers)
Order matching that’s front-running resistant
Perpetuals, spot markets, synthetic assets, etc.

Why is this a big deal?
Because latency and MEV become chain-level issues. Injective can eliminate entire classes of attacks (like sandwiching) that Ethereum DEXes suffer from because it controls the actual ordering logic at the chain layer
