Is Injective layer 1?

I'm curious about something, could you please clarify? Is Injective considered a layer 1 blockchain platform? I've heard some people discussing it in that context, but I'm not entirely sure if that's accurate. Layer 1 blockchains are typically those that have their own independent sets of rules and consensus mechanisms, so I'm wondering if Injective fits into that category. Could you provide some insight into this matter? Thank you in advance for your help.
