Injective partners with Microsoft for onchain agentic commerce event on Oct 6
Injective is teaming with Microsoft for an on‑chain agentic commerce event in Singapore on Oct 6, a day before Token2049. The gathering will demonstrate Injective’s suite that lets autonomous AI agents trade, transact and interact on its blockchain without human input.
Key points
- Injective and Microsoft’s Nova Program offers Azure AI services, grants over $10,000, and up to $1 million VC for standout projects.
- The Oct 6 Singapore event will showcase on‑chain AI agents trading via ERC‑8004 identities and x402 micropayments.
- Injective’s platform has processed over $6.8 billion in real‑world asset volume and is an SEC‑registered transfer agent.
The partnership builds on the Nova Program launched in May 2026, which pairs Microsoft Azure’s enterprise AI infrastructure with Injective’s agent tooling. Developers in the program receive Azure AI services, Injective development tools, grants exceeding $10,000 and, for the most promising projects, possible venture‑capital investments up to $1 million. The program was first announced at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival.
Injective’s platform now supports on‑chain identity via the ERC‑8004 standard, fee‑routing for high‑frequency agent trades and x402 micropayments. It has processed over $6.8 billion in real‑world asset volume as of mid‑2026 and became an SEC‑registered transfer agent earlier this year. The Oct 6 event is expected to serve as a demo day for Nova projects, though details remain undisclosed.

Injective is bringing Microsoft along for the ride as it hosts an “onchain agentic commerce” event on October 6 in Singapore, timed to land one day before Token2049 kicks off. The event will spotlight Injective’s growing suite of tools designed to let autonomous AI agents trade, transact, and interact on its blockchain without human intervention.
The collaboration isn’t coming out of nowhere. Injective and Microsoft launched the Nova Program back in May 2026, a joint initiative pairing Azure’s enterprise AI infrastructure with Injective’s own agent tooling.
What the Nova Program actually does
The Nova Program targets developers building at the intersection of AI and blockchain, with a particular focus on Asia. Participants get access to Microsoft’s Azure AI services, Injective’s proprietary development tools, and financial backing that includes grants exceeding $10,000.
For projects that really stand out, the Injective Foundation is offering potential venture capital investments reaching up to $1 million. The program was first unveiled at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival earlier this year. Now the Token2049 side event serves as its next major public-facing moment.
Agentic commerce, explained
Injective has been building infrastructure specifically for this use case. Its platform now includes onchain identity capabilities through ERC-8004, a standard that gives AI agents verifiable identities on the blockchain. The blockchain also features efficient fee routing mechanisms designed for high-frequency agent trades, along with x402 micropayments tailored for agent-to-agent commerce.

The bigger picture for Injective
The platform has processed over $6.8 billion in volume related to real-world assets as of mid-2026. In a move that separates it from most of its DeFi peers, Injective became an SEC-registered transfer agent in 2026. That designation allows it to maintain official records of securities ownership and handle transfers.
What to watch at Token2049 and beyond
Token2049 Singapore runs October 7-8, with side events spanning October 5-11. The October 6 agentic commerce event will likely serve as a demo day of sorts for projects built using the Nova Program’s resources, though the exact format hasn’t been disclosed.
