🚀 NEW EPISODE 🚀 Incentively Aligned Appchains @crainbf chats with @ItsAlwaysZonny, @ZeMariaMacedo & @anildelphi about the appchain thesis and how @initia aims to revive it through an interoperable & incentively aligned ecosystem that avoids liquidity fragmentation. While the idea of apps building their own chains was first explored by @cosmos, it lacked the proper tooling to achieve a seamless DevEx & UX. Later on, rollups also took the centerstage of @ethereum's scaling roadmap, but due to their general purpose design, it led to a cannibalistic ecosystem in which L2s were scrambling for liquidity, developers and users, all while minimal value was being accrued back to the L1. @initia learned from these 2 models and combined the best of both worlds: it built a full-stack framework for a seamless DevEx from the get-go and, more importantly, it designed its tokenomics in order to ensure maximum incentive alignment between its appchains and Initia's L1 (e.g. enshrined liquidity and Vested Interest Program).
