Binance is excited to announce the 68th project on Binance Launchpool - Initia (INIT).
Users will be able to lock their BNB, FDUSD, and USDC to receive INIT airdrops over 6 days, with farming starting from 2025-04-18 00:00 (UTC).
Listing
Binance will then list INIT at 2025-04-24 11:00 (UTC) and open trading with INIT/USDT, INIT/USDC, INIT/BNB, INIT/FDUSD, and INIT/TRY trading pairs. The Seed Tag will be applied to INIT.
Detailed Overview of Initia
Initia is an innovative, multichain Layer 1 blockchain. If modern attempts were made to rebuild multichain networks from existing knowledge, they would look very much like Initia.
After completing three rounds of financing in two years, we have ended up with a 15% cap for investors in total allocation. YZi Labs led Initia's pre-seed round, with Delphi Ventures and Hack VC following with their initial seed support, followed by Theory Ventures in their Series A round.
Initia launched its first-ever sale via The Echonomist, Echo's venture community collective, thus inaugurating a new era for community participation and ownership, followed by Usual Money, MegaETH, and Fogo.
Multichain ecosystem
Ethereum has grown to become a multichain ecosystem. OP Stack, built by Optimism, combined with mass adoption for rollups, makes creating new chains incredibly easy. Chains built on these rollup platforms effectively act as equivalent clones that prove to be difficult to modify with substantive changes or customizations.
How does Initia fit into this?
Initia has the benefit of hindsight. Having seen constraints in existing multi-chain architectures, Initia set to task in creating a unique scaffolding for use in an era in which rollup-centric design is prevalent.
This scaffolding focuses on flexibility in all key dimensions, formalizes necessary properties, converts tied-up capital to efficiently shared liquidity, aggregates the end-user experience across all connected rollup apps, and features an economic system that captures value on Layer 1.
Interwoven stack
Initia has a strong, unique character due to deliberate architecture choices. Every functionality and tool that an app-chain developer can expect is built directly into the system. This allows for access to the developer environment for the Interwoven Stack from day one.
Interwoven Stack overcomes fragmentation by eliminating choice overload, thus allowing teams to focus on creating outstanding apps. The architecture choices made include:
👉LayerZero and IBC
👉Celestia DA.
👉Supports USDC and CCTP protocols.
👉Oracle integration via validator sidecars.
The initial-wide fungibility means that every chain has just one version of USDC, ETH, and other assets, without having wrapped or bridged tokens on all Interwoven Rollups.
👉Any extra tokens for gas
👉Integrated indexers
Economic Framework: Initia Vested Interest Program
Initia VIP was designed to realize the potential of Initia's L1 architecture and its own token, INIT, in pursuing better economic alignment while solving for the principal-agent problem that could exist between users, developers, and L2s.
VIP improves on the deployment of INIT, creating an economic balance that incentivizes all participants in the ecosystem to invest in INIT's success.
L2 economics
The economics of L2 become relevant to agents in all Omnitia-based dApps, at the same time incentivizing developers to include the token in their projects and align their interests with INIT's long-term success.
In addition, L2s have an incentive to increase their operations while keeping their users active in their apps.
Priority rollup-level parameters
Two important rollup-level parameters determine rewards distributed: the total INIT value allocated to a particular rollup and the weight specified by governance for all Interwoven Rollups.
Rewards
Rewards to an individual rollup equate to their proportion of INIT bridged to that particular rollup compared to total INIT bridged to all Interwoven Rollups, plus weight specified by governance for that particular rollup compared to total weight.
Users receive rewards for every individual rollup depending on the KPIs specified by that particular rollup. These KPIs include any on-chain element that is being tracked. Some examples include:
🔥The total number of transactions that occurred over the course of the rollup period.
🔥The sound cascaded in one uninterrupted, anchored roll, repeating endlessly.
🔥The value of acquisitions done through a lending marketplace-based rollup. The number of NFTs that were generated for an NFT-based rollup.
Ecology grants
Most ecology grant funds go through subjective judgment before being directly allocated to teams. Historically, such grants have been held by users in their possession; instead of being surrendered, teams often keep them or have them idle in project treasuries.
By paying esINIT directly to users, such is avoided, offering teams an incentive to gather fees or earn prolonged income from use of apps, all while using VIP to start earning.
Enshrined liquidity
Initia's Enshrined Liquidity addresses some of the core challenges brought about by the Proof of Stake (PoS) as well as rollup mechanisms. Some of those challenges include:
👉Trade-offs between chain security and liquidity.
👉Lack of capital efficiency
👉Liquidity fragmentation
This mechanism facilitates staking by governance-whitelisted InitiaDEX INIT-TOKEN holdings, in addition to the native INIT token. In some form or another, it solves all of the aforementioned challenges.
Improving the chain's security and liquidity
Typical proof-of-stake protocols allow holders to stake their tokens with validators, thus making their chain more secure while receiving rewards in the process.
However, this is done at a tradeoff: as more tokens are staked, security for the chain is maximized, but application-layer liquidity is reduced. This tension has a profound impact on both security and liquidity in the chain.
By allowing users to stake their liquidity pools, they support not only chain security but also liquidity growth, along with rewards for staking as well as for providing liquidity.
Increasing capital efficiency
The users have to make a choice: stake their funds or offer liquidity. This leads to a situation where, in order to benefit from both, users end up splitting their money across multiple bets, compromising overall capital efficiency in the process.
Enshrined Liquidity eliminates the tradeoff previously present between staking and providing liquidity, such that liquidity positions may now be used as staking assets. Users are now able to earn staking rewards in combination with trading fees from one position, resulting in improved capital efficiency as well as an integrated approach to deploying capital.
Initia Ecosystem
Currently, sixteen rollups have been launched on Initia's Interwoven Stack. The rollups have been able to attract over $28 million in backing from investors such as YZi Labs, Polychain, Hack VC, and Lightspeed Faction.
With over 130 million transactions between eight Interwoven Rollups on Layer 1, as well as about three million unique wallets that were created across a twelve-week Public Testnet, Initia is now set to start on Mainnet.
Three foundational stacks
Initia is built on top of three foundational stacks to create an integrated and optimized system for a rollup-based future: the Architecture Stack, the most appealing Economic Framework, and the Product Suite.
Economy of application-specific blockchains
Inita’s Economy of application-specific blockchains has raised more than $28M, which is more than Initia has fundraised itself! These are NOT applications built on a Layer 1. These are independent blockchains that are truly interwoven to Initia, sharing liquidity and reducing fragmentation.
The Initia Mainnet Launch: Expected Date and What's Next
While an exact date is to be determined, it is known that Initia's mainnet launch will center on creating value in its home ecosystem, hoping to include every aspect—from basic Layer 1 transactions to complex applications in DeFi, gaming, and NFTs.
With mainnet activation, users can expect to have access to fundamental network features, including:
🔥The Omnitia Liquidity Hub, complete with an in-built DEX.
🔥Ability to support Layer 2 Minitias.
🔥The addition of governance mechanisms, among others.
The launch will also initiate the 30-day claim window for the widely anticipated INIT token airdrop, allowing eligible participants to claim their tokens.
EMBR
The world's first meme-based coins appchain, EMBR, is launching on Initia's Interwoven Stack to realize an ambitious mission to foster an on-chain community in which memes not only endure but also evolve.
This is not just another chain. "This is where memes reside," EMBR's team announced, highlighting their intent to create lasting memes and create a decentralized haven for meme culture.
The platform is designed to enable the tokenization of meme content for sharing in a controlled environment, with more tools and features for interacting with memes in the pipeline.
RAVE
RAVE Trade is an unstoppable and strobe-light quick experience, providing perpetual on-chain trading with any collateral on Initia. Rave will provide users with the following:
🔥Yield stables, 6x restaked ETH, or memes; any collateral is invited to the RAVE.
🔥Daytrading and partying at night; nowadays, RAVE Trade is more closely integrated.
RAVE’s highly composite rollup allows for premier asset trading with a wide range of collateral, including stablecoins, LRTs, and even AI memecoins.
Minity
Introducing Minity, a comprehensive portfolio tracker for interwoven rollups on Initia. Minity optimizes monitoring for all such assets, DeFi balances, NFTs, etc., within connected rollups.
Key features of Minity:
👉Asset Tracking: Allowing individuals to track their digital assets and DeFi holdings in one place, making managing their investments even easier.
👉NFT Management: Here, users can manage their NFTs as well as receive useful insights on their portfolios.
👉Minity's modular design enables smoother discovery and use of its functionalities in combined blockchain systems.
Intergaze
Intergaze is an application developed by Stargaze to allow developers to launch and manage their NFT sets. The application allows for minting, transferring, and trading of NFTs between multiple blockchains. By using Initia's Interwoven Stack in conjunction with Celestia for data availability, it offers cross-chain capability without charging gas fees.
Intergaze is an advanced NFT launchpad that allows you to debut on Initia and start selling on Stargaze.
Echelon Chain
Echelon Chain is an appchain for lending and debt, painstakingly designed on Initia's Interwoven Stack, powered by Celestia Data Availability. Its main purpose is to act as the debt engine for interwoven modular economics. Some of the most prominent features include:
🔥Asset onboarding from anywhere with LayerZero and IBC
🔥Scalable DA with access to Celestia-native assets
🔥Native USDC & CCTP.
🔥Oracles Enshr
🔥A complete product suite (wallet, explorers, usernames, etc.)
Zaar
Initia’s Mainnet features Zaar – a custom-built rollup as the on-chain PlayPlace for NFTs, carefully embedded in a thoroughly networked ecosystem. Zaar will allow users to trade, craft, and withdraw NFTs on numerous chains that have high liquidity.
MilkyWay
MilkyWay was the initial and biggest liquid staking and restaking protocol in the modular architecture. With the launch of MilkyWay Mainnet, Initia will bring on board a liquid staking solution.
In participating in MilkyWay's liquid staking of their INIT, users obtain an on-chain tokenized version of their staked assets in the form of milkINIT. This facilitates Initia token holders to unlock their staked funds, which can in turn be traded or be used as collateral for an array of DeFi products.
Simply storing our liquid staked INIT, milkINIT, automatically compounds staking benefits.
Civita
Civitia is an open-source game that welcomes players to an original social and economic environment, built with meticulous care on top of the Initia modular blockchain and the modular data availability network of Celestia.
The Civitia Lobby will open on the first day of the Initia Mainnet.

How Binance Launchpool Benefits BNB Holders
Binance Launchpool has played a key role in supporting the price stability and long-term value of BNB, the utility token of the BNB Chain ecosystem that powers the Binance Launchpool program.
In 2024, BNB’s price more than doubled from around $317 at the start of the year to $700 by year-end. A major reason behind BNB’s resilience is the continuous demand created by Launchpool, which incentivizes users to stake rather than sell. By locking up BNB to farm new tokens, participants reduce market supply, helping to sustain price levels even in volatile market conditions.
Beyond price stability, Launchpool enhances the utility of BNB by offering predictable rewards to holders. Instead of relying on speculation, users can earn new tokens through staking, ensuring a steady stream of returns while maintaining exposure to a historically stable asset. This combination of yield-generation and price support makes BNB one of the strongest assets in the market, reinforcing its role as the backbone of the BNB Chain ecosystem.
Getting Started with Binance Launchpool
For those new to the program, participating in Binance Launchpool is a straightforward process. Users need to create a Binance account and complete basic verification steps before they can stake assets in active pools.
Once staked, rewards are distributed daily based on each participant’s contribution to the pool. This means that the more an individual stakes, the higher their share of the rewards. Tokens earned through Launchpool can be held for long-term appreciation or traded immediately upon listing, giving participants flexibility in managing their earnings.
For anyone looking to expand their crypto portfolio while minimizing risk, Binance Launchpool presents an unmatched opportunity. There is never a better time than today to get involved and start farming your rewards!
