A rollup must be whitelisted before it can participate in the Vested Interest Program (VIP).
The following steps are for whitelisting a rollup for VIP on Mainnet. For testnet rollups, please contact the Initia team. This section also assumes you have already added your rollup to the Initia Registry. If not, please follow the guide in the previous section.
1

Deploy the VIP Scoring Contract

Deploy the appropriate VIP scoring contract for your rollup’s VM.
2

Submit a Forum Proposal

Before your rollup can be whitelisted, you must create a proposal in the Initia Forum. See the template for the necessary information.
3

Submit a L1 Governance Proposal

After creating the forum proposal, you finally need to submit a governance proposal on the Initia L1. The script below shows how to do so.

import { MnemonicKey, RESTClient, Wallet, bcs, MsgSubmitProposal, MsgGovExecute } from '@initia/initia.js'

Proposal Voting Period

Once the proposal is submitted, it will enter a voting period of 7 days. Finally, if the proposal passes, the rollup will be whitelisted and active for VIP.
