Initia Network

Initia is a VM-agnostic network for 0-to-1 omnichain rollups, built by fusing a novel L1 with an interwoven application-specific L2 infrastructure system.

SnapShot is a functionality that allows you to access the data of the blockchain at a particular point in time. This can be useful for backup, recovery, or for starting a new node.
