Why Injective chose Cosmos (not Ethereum):
Not just a dApp: Instead of being limited like a dApp on Ethereum, Injective wanted full control, Cosmos let them build their own chain.

Speed and low fees: Cosmos’ Tendermint engine gave them fast finality and cheap trading.

Cross-chain ready: IBC unlocked access to other chains and assets from day one.

Built for DeFi: Cosmos SDK was modular and perfect for a finance-first chain like Injective.
