Initia Appchain Dev
This is a comprehensive reference for building on Initia's multi-VM appchain stack. It covers MoveVM, WasmVM, and EVM contract development, frontend integration with InterwovenKit or direct JSON-RPC, and rollup operations with Weave CLI. The skill walks you through environment setup for each VM track, handles discovery of chain config when values are missing, and enforces opinionated defaults like EVM-first and testnet-first unless you specify otherwise. The tagging system and strict constraints around usernames and workspace hygiene suggest this was built for hackathon scenarios where teams need to move fast without breaking things. Use it when you need end-to-end guidance that spans smart contracts, React frontends, and appchain ops in one place.

Initia Appchain Dev
Deliver practical guidance for full-stack Initia development: contracts, frontend integration, and appchain operations.
Command examples in this file assume the working directory is skill/; use scripts/... paths accordingly.
Intake Questions (Ask First)
Collect missing inputs before implementation:
- Which VM is required (
evm,move,wasm)? - Which network is targeted (
testnetormainnet)? - Is this a fresh rollup launch or operation/debug on an existing rollup?
- For frontend work, is this an EVM JSON-RPC app or an InterwovenKit wallet/bridge app?
- What chain-specific values are known (
chain_id, RPC URL, deployed contract address, denom)?
If critical values are missing, ask concise follow-up questions before generating final code/config.
If chain_id/endpoints/VM are missing, run the discovery flow in references/runtime-discovery.md before assuming defaults.
If weave is installed but fails with shell-level errors, continue discovery
with ~/.minitia/artifacts/config.json and direct minitiad commands instead
of blocking on weave.
