Network of interwoven rollups (Minitias) anchored to the Initia L1, with shared liquidity, an opinionated VM choice (MoveVM, EVM, or WasmVM), Celestia DA, and IBC-native cross-rollup messaging.

| Variable | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
| INITIA_L1_RPC_URL | Client | Initia L1 (CometBFT) RPC endpoint for submitting Minitia ops and IBC messages. |
| INITIA_CHAIN_ID | Client | Initia L1 chain ID (e.g. `interwoven-1` mainnet, `initiation-2` testnet). |
| MINITIA_RPC_URL | Client | RPC endpoint of your specific Minitia rollup. |
Use Initia to deploy a Minitia rollup. Pick the VM (MoveVM, EVM, or WasmVM), configure the optimistic rollup parameters, and register the Minitia with the Initia L1, which acts as the settlement and shared-liquidity hub. Use Celestia for data availability (default) and IBC for cross-rollup messaging instead of bespoke bridges. Fund the operator wallet with INIT for L1 settlement fees and TIA for DA fees; expose the Minitia RPC + L1 RPC to your app and rely on the Initia App Hub for omnichain UX.
- ⚑VM choice (Move / EVM / Wasm) is fixed per Minitia at deploy time — picking the wrong VM forces a chain migration.
- ⚑Gas tokens are split: L1 settlement fees are paid in INIT, DA fees in TIA, and your Minitia's own gas can be a third token — fund all three.
- ⚑DA inclusion latency tracks Celestia (~12s per block); soft-finality on the Minitia cannot beat that.
- ⚑Settlement is to the Initia L1, not Ethereum — bridging out to Ethereum requires IBC + an external bridge and is not native.
- ⚑Sequencer is operated by the Minitia owner by default (centralized); shared sequencing is roadmap, not default — disclose trust assumptions.
- ⚑Fork mechanics follow CometBFT finality on the L1 plus optimistic challenge windows on the Minitia — design reorg handling for both.
- ⚑IBC channels and the Initia bridge contracts must be wired correctly per Minitia; misconfigured channels strand assets.
