The modular future is upon us, bringing with it a next-generation system designed to eliminate the fragmentation and complexity often seen in traditional blockchain ecosystems. A new multi-chain world has officially begun!
Initia is thrilled to announce the launch of their Public Testnet, named initiation-1. The initiation starts now at initia.xyz.
About Initia
Initia is a cutting-edge Layer 1 (L1) blockchain on Cosmos, designed to support application-specific Layer 2s (L2s) using Optimistic rollups. Its innovative architecture includes L1, L2, and communication layers, allowing developers to launch application-specific blockchains (Initia L2s) with ease, without the need to understand complex chain-level infrastructure or manage validator sets.
Initia empowers project teams to create their own economies and user experiences by incorporating advanced features such as native stablecoins, multi-chain bridging, just-in-time gas, ecosystem-wide asset fungibility, programmatic gas-free transactions, and account abstraction.
By holistically rebuilding the architecture, product, and economic frameworks of a modern modular multi-chain world, Initia ensures seamless integration across rollups, virtual machines (VMs), users, liquidity, and the community.
The Initiation
The Initiation is Initia’s 8-week Incentivized Public Testnet adventure.
This is the first opportunity to explore the new multi-chain world that Initia has been developing over the past year. Join the Initia Militia, provide feedback, explore Minitias, and have a great time.
The Public Testnet is designed to allow users to get a sense of Initia as well as provide application teams with a stable system to develop, iterate, and test on Initia. Initia will continue to refine all core infrastructure and products, including the Initia Vested Interest Program, which will launch during the Public Testnet.
With Public Testnet, Initia’s docs and code become public. Check them out below!
A Day-1 Testnet Ecosystem
The Initia Ecosystem has been steadily expanding over the past few months in the Closed Testnet phase. So far, six Minitias have been revealed, with even more exciting additions on the horizon.
Each Minitia within the ecosystem functions as a thriving application with its own dedicated community. Much like the architecture stack itself, Initia seamlessly integrates these Minitias to foster collective growth and innovation.
On Day 1 of Initia’s Public Testnet, Minitias such as Blackwing, Tucana, and Lunch will go live, with additional Minitias set to launch soon after. This marks the beginning of a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem ready to explore new possibilities and drive forward the future of decentralized applications.
An interwoven architecture stack
Over the past year and a half, the dedicated team at Initia Labs has been tirelessly working on perfecting Initia. The result is an architecture stack designed for an interconnected future, featuring thousands of rollups. This architecture is specifically crafted to address the fragmented experience often faced by users and liquidity providers in an increasingly modular blockchain world.
At the core of this system is Initia Layer 1 (L1), an orchestration layer that enhances interoperability, security, liquidity, and rewards across the entire network. The OPinit Stack, the first Optimistic Rollup framework built on CosmosSDK, enables lightweight yet robust rollups to securely scale using Celestia DA underneath.
Interwoven rollups have quickly emerged as the most flexible and product-ready rollups available. With fully customizable CosmosSDK chains known as Minitias, and a choice of virtual machines (VMs) like InitiaEVM, InitiaMVM, and WasmVM, teams can build application-specific blockchains tailored to their needs. Through Initia L1, these Minitias gain access to essential tools and services: native USDC and CCTP access, atomically fetchable Oracles, instant bridging, interoperability with other chains via IBC, access to the Skip API, fiat on-ramps, and more.
Initia’s hybrid L1 + L2 network design, powered by Enshrined Liquidity, seamlessly integrates these components, eliminating the complexities typically associated with multi-chain systems and paving the way for a smoother, more efficient modular future.
Build-A-Jennie
Complete tasks on Initia L1 to collect NFT cards, merge them, and summon the Forbidden One. Once you’ve summoned the Forbidden One, you’ll earn a new set of responsibilities. Owning an on-chain pet is no easy feat.
Here’s the quickstart guide:
1. Explore and interact with Initia and live Minitias to earn Initia XP.
2. Spend Initia XP wisely to acquire various foods.
3. Feed your Jennie to evolve her.
4. You can only feed your Jennie once per week. Don’t skimp on her food.

Product-first Infrastructure
Initia goes beyond just providing pure infrastructure by ensuring that the interwoven rollup stack includes all the essential product infrastructure needed by every appchain.
To enhance the user experience, Initia offers a suite of tools: the Initia App, Wallet, Scan, and Usernames. These tools are designed to ensure that end users enjoy a seamless experience across thousands of interconnected rollups. Whether users are transacting, exploring, or managing their digital identities, Initia’s product-first approach ensures everything works smoothly and efficiently.
Conclusion
With Initia’s Public Testnet, the journey toward a more interconnected, efficient, and inclusive multi-chain ecosystem begins. Join Initia in redefining the boundaries of decentralized finance and paving the way for a brighter, more accessible future. The initiation starts now.
