About INIT
Initia (INIT) is the native token of the Initia network, a pioneering Layer 1 and rollup ecosystem designed to bring modular architecture and seamless interoperability to Web3 applications. Initia combines a Cosmos SDK-based Layer 1 blockchain (the Initia L1) with a framework for deploying permissionless, customizable Layer 2 rollups called "Opinitia." The Initia L1 provides a decentralized shared security base and coordination layer, facilitating interoperability between thousands of app-specific rollups. It uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model, integrating features like inter-rollup communication (IRC), a universal account system, decentralized sequencing, and economic coordination across the ecosystem. Opinitia rollups are sovereign, customizable rollups built on MoveVM, optimized for user-defined execution environments. Rollup developers can easily launch chains that plug into Initia’s network, gaining access to Initia's liquidity, security, and interconnectivity. INIT, the network’s token, is used for staking, governance, paying gas fees on the Initia L1, and participating in economic mechanisms across the rollup ecosystem. INIT is critical to the security of the Initia network and acts as a coordination medium between L1 and its rollups. With its combination of modular design, intuitive developer tooling, and built-in interoperability, Initia aims to enable a scalable, liquid, and highly composable network of Web3 applications and appchains.
