Operator Rewards Back to YOU 🫵
Civitia Dao operator rewards has been and will be spent on
➢ Weekly season jackpots
➢ @CabalVIP bribes to increase community VIP allocation
➢ [REDACTED] rewards
Reward flows back to the hands that shape it
VIP is a game of incentives. Cabal is your cheat code.
In just six weeks, the @initia community entrusted us with 1 in every 3 votes. Over $600k in annualized bribes, straight back to you.
Accelerate.
PumpChain seems inevitable.
Pump users have paid ~3.775m SOL in base gas fees to Solana validators since Jan 2024.
That's nearly $611m in additional revenue dropped and value leaked out of the pump eco. Alon could have sent over half a B more to kippahstayson.sol...
A multichain future is an app-centric future, where apps keep the value they create.
Appchains.
535,000 $INIT rewards has flowed to peeps exploring the Interwoven Economy 🪢
It's simple:
Pick your favorite app, have some fun, and earn $INIT!
Stage 5 of VIP has wrapped up! @EchelonMarket remains on top, but for how long?
Stage 6 is live and ends July 17th! Link below ⤵️
The @initia product team has been heads down since mainnet, and we’re about to ship some of our biggest upgrades yet.
Here’s what’s coming soon:
✦ Initia App Overhaul: A reimagined experience to make the Initia App your home for everything Initia - deeper insights, easier navigation, and richer visibility into VIP, EL, and more.
✦ Wallet Widget v2: A fully rebuilt bridging and swapping flow, easier integration for application teams, and a robust foundation for a truly interwoven experience
✦ Scan UX Improvements: Smarter sorting, better readability, and a more intuitive view into your onchain activity across the L1 and every rollup,
✦ More experiments to radically improve onboarding and reduce friction for both users and builders.
We’re building towards a single goal: To make Interwoven Rollups the easiest, smoothest, and most valuable place to build and use apps in crypto.
This is just the beginning.
