Injective launched the Super Intelligence Compute Index (SICI), a perpetual futures market on its Layer-1 network that allows traders to speculate on the rental costs of various Nvidia GPU models, such as the H100 and B200. The index uses a seven-day trailing average of marketplace rental prices to track these costs.

Following this, Injective introduced a modular options protocol on its testnet. This protocol enables the trading of fully collateralized call and put options. While the SICI perpetual markets are live on the mainnet, the new options infrastructure includes synthetic derivatives for the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, gold, silver, WTI crude oil, and the SICI.
