What is Initia (INIT)?
Initia is a next-generation blockchain platform that unites application-specific blockchains through a network of interconnected rollups, known as Interwoven Rollups. Built using the Cosmos SDK, Initia blends the flexibility of modular blockchain design with the scalability of rollup technology. Its ecosystem is structured around Initia L1—a custom Layer 1 chain acting as the central coordination, liquidity, and governance hub for all connected rollups.
Through its Interwoven Stack, Initia reduces development complexity by providing integrated, ready-to-use infrastructure for launching rollups. Developers can easily deploy customizable Layer 2 blockchains using different virtual machines, including EVM, MoveVM, and WasmVM, while benefiting from native features like bridging, data availability solutions, oracles, and unified asset standards. This system ensures strong interoperability between rollups while maintaining direct accessibility across the wider blockchain ecosystem.
The INIT token underpins the economic model of Initia. It is used for securing the network, facilitating liquidity through the InitiaDEX, participating in governance, and supporting cross-rollup operations. Initia’s incentive structure, known as the Vested Interest Program (VIP), rewards active participants based on their on-chain activities by distributing INIT tokens directly, aligning the growth of rollups with the broader Initia ecosystem. The design also introduces Enshrined Liquidity, a system where staking and liquidity provision are combined to reinforce both network security and economic activity.
With innovations like MiniEVM, MiniMove, and MiniWasm enabling multi-VM support, and a scalable architecture capable of achieving 10,000 TPS with 500ms block times, Initia positions itself as a foundational network for the next wave of decentralized applications, offering a developer-friendly, scalable, and economically aligned blockchain environment.
