If you've been here on the channel for sometime, you know we have been large proponents of the application specific designs. We have been vocal about the customizability benefits of appchains, amidst other key advantages like sovereignty and more control over blockspace.
However, one of the largest pushbacks we've received (and thought through) is around the interoperability issues of a world of thousands of rollups.
As part of our ongoing NYC chain abstraction focused content blitz, we were joined by Zon from Initia, to discuss how Initia blends the best parts of Ethereum’s rollup ecosystem with Cosmos’s flexibility.
We discussed the integration of certain elements like IBC, oracles, native chain abstraction with an Initia wallet, enshrined liquidity, and their VIP program which make the experience on the interwoven stack unique and differentiated.
We also asked Zon about the application space on Initia and learned about several of the native apps building on their stack. Towards the end, we discussed timelines to mainnet and the results from testnet as well.
Whether you're here for the tech or want to have some laughs, this conversation was thorough and entertaining. Hope you enjoy.
