Overview

The Initia L1 is a custom-built Layer 1 blockchain that serves as the central coordination layer for all Interwoven Rollups. The L1 is built on the Cosmos SDK and is responsible for:

  1. Security: Rollups leverage Initia L1’s security for various purposes including token bridging, state commitments, and fraud proofs
  2. Liquidity: The InitiaDEX on L1 acts as a central liquidity hub for the ecosystem, providing a seamless experience for token liquidity and cross-rollup bridging and swaps
  3. Interoperability: L1 functions as a central hub and router for rollups, enabling seamless communication and state transitions both between rollups and with the broader blockchain ecosystem
  4. Incentives: L1 powers various incentive schemes including the Vested Interest Program (VIP) and the Enshrined Liquidity
