As week 8 — the final week — of The Initiation: Part One begins, we’d like to briefly reflect and introduce a short and sweet 4 week Part Two.
The Initiation: Part One — a quick lookback
The Initiation: Initia’s Public Testnet began on May 14 and has blown our minds. We hope you have enjoyed experiencing the beginning of an interwoven future.
From receiving over 130,000 requests per second during the first few hours of testnet, to the network bullishly breaking from hectic demand by the Initia Militia, all the way to where we are now nearly 7 weeks later, it’s been an incredible ride.
After 7 weeks of Public Testnet we’ve seen:
- 7 interwoven rollups live on initiation-1 including: Blackwing, Civitia, Tucana, Lunch, and INIT-AI.
- The launch of Initia’s Rapid Relayer system.
- 11,500,000+ cross rollup transactions.
- 2,800,000+ unique wallets.
- 95,000,000+ transactions across the Initia L1 and 7 Minitias.
The Jennigotchi program has been a hit as users summon, feed, and evolve their on-chain pets. We hope your Jennie has not become a ghost and she’s been spoiled with Filet Mignons.
We’ve seen over 1,250,000+ Jennies summoned. Only the best of owners have fully evolved their Jennie to unlock her Avatar State.
We are incredibly grateful to the entire Initia Militia and all those that have given Public Testnet a try. Your feedback has been immensely valuable as we iterate our architecture and Core Apps.
The Initia Labs team has been working diligently on the infrastructure and full product suite behind the scenes for nearly a year and a half. It has been incredible to see all the positive feedback.
We are also proud of the wonderful Minitia teams that worked on Closed Testnet to launch rollups during The Initiation. We can’t wait to launch mainnet with you all.
The Initiation: Part Two — VIP and MinitSwap
The Initiation: Part Two will be a focused, concise, and simplified 4 week Incentivized Testnet. Part Two is dedicated to breaking, testing, and collecting feedback on two major features of the network for interwoven rollups: VIP and MinitSwap (in addition to the launch of additional Minitias ofc 😉).
There will be no more Parts to The Initiation after the 4 week Part Two.
A few changes will be made to the Jennigotchi program in Part Two:
- After Week 8 of Part One concludes, your on-chain pet’s evolution will be crystalized and she will become immortal. This means feeding and evolving her will no longer be possible and she can no longer turn into a ghost.
- Ghosted Jennies will be revived to their last evolution before death.
- XP will no longer be distributed and hidden XP quests will no longer exist.
- Each week of Part Two will have a series of quests to explore and experience Initia VIP, MinitSwap, and Minitias.
- The completion of these quests each week will apply a new feature to your on-chain Jennie adding a visual distinction signifying your progress and achievements in the ecosystem.
Part Two of The Initiation is designed to collect feedback on VIP, MinitSwap, and Minitias ahead of Mainnet launch.
We look forward to introducing you to Initia Vested Interest Program (VIP), Initia’s multi-chain alignment system. It’s damn cool.
