Overview

Initia is a Layer 1 blockchain built to serve as the central coordination layer and infrastructure hub for a growing ecosystem of Layer 2 rollups. Through its core offering, Initia L1, it provides essential services such as network security, governance, liquidity solutions, and seamless cross-chain interoperability. Developers can deploy highly customizable rollups within the Initia ecosystem, tailoring smart contract virtual machines, gas tokens, and other technical features using the Interwoven Stack, a fully integrated development framework that minimizes complexity and fragmentation. The ecosystem is further enhanced by Initia's DeFi capabilities, including token swapping, liquidity provision, LP token delegation to validators, and robust bridging mechanisms. Trading features such as spot trading, cross-chain swaps, and instant withdrawals are available through InitiaDEX and Minitswap. INIT, the native token of Initia, plays a foundational role by powering transactions, securing the network via staking, enabling governance, supporting native liquidity through the Enshrined Liquidity system, funding user and developer incentives, and facilitating cross-rollup interoperability. The protocol integrates a governance-based reward system for LP tokens, ensuring fair and adaptable incentive allocation.
