Deutsche Telekom operates broadband and mobile networks in over 50 countries, including through its well-known subsidiary, T-Mobile. With a customer base of 252 million and a market cap of about $178 billion, its entry into blockchain validation signals growing institutional confidence in Web3.
According to Injective’s February 27 blog post, Deutsche Telekom MMS will validate transactions, participate in onchain governance, and help secure cross-chain interoperability. As a validator, it will stake Injective’s native token, INJ, propose blocks, and vote on governance proposals.
Today, Deutsche Telekom MMS joins Injective’s validator set.
