End-to-end Initia development and operations guide. Use when asked to build Initia smart contracts (MoveVM/WasmVM/EVM), build React frontends (InterwovenKit or EVM direct JSON-RPC), launch or operate Interwoven Rollups with Weave CLI, or debug appchain/transaction integration across these layers.

Initia Appchain Dev

Deliver practical guidance for full-stack Initia development: contracts, frontend integration, and appchain operations.

Intake Questions (Ask First)

Collect missing inputs before implementation:

Which VM is required (
```
evm
```
,
```
move
```
,
```
wasm
```
)?
Which network is targeted (
```
testnet
```
or
```
mainnet
```
)?
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, module address, denom)?

If critical values are missing, ask concise follow-up questions before generating final code/config.

chain_id

/endpoints/VM are missing, run the discovery flow in

runtime-discovery.md

before assuming defaults.

Then ask a context-specific confirmation:

Frontend task: "I found a local rollup config/runtime. Should I use this rollup for frontend integration?"
Non-frontend task: "I found local runtime values (VM, chain ID, endpoints). Should I use these for this task?"

Opinionated Defaults

Area	Default	Notes
VM	`evm`	Use `move` / `wasm` only when requested
Network	`testnet`	Use `mainnet` only when explicitly requested
Frontend (EVM VM)	wagmi + viem direct JSON-RPC	Default for pure EVM apps
Frontend (Move/Wasm or bridge wallet UX)	`@initia/interwovenkit-react`	Use when InterwovenKit features are required
Frontend wallet flow (InterwovenKit path)	`requestTxBlock`	Prefer confirmation UX
Frontend provider order (InterwovenKit path)	Query -> Wagmi -> InterwovenKit	Baseline path
Rollup DA	`INITIA`	Prefer Celestia only when explicitly needed
Rollup moniker	`operator`	Override for production naming
EVM denom	`GAS`	Typical test/internal default
Move/Wasm denom	`umin`	Typical default

Operating Procedure (How To Execute Tasks)

When solving an Initia task:

Classify the task layer:

Contract layer (Move/Wasm/EVM)
Frontend/wallet/provider layer
Appchain/Weave operations layer
Integration and transaction execution layer
Testing/CI and infra layer (RPC/LCD/indexer health)

Resolve runtime context first:

If VM/

chain_id

/endpoint values are unknown, run

scripts/verify-appchain.sh --gas-station

If critical values are still missing, run
```
runtime-discovery.md
```
.
Confirm with user whether discovered local rollup should be used.

Pick task-specific references from the Progressive Disclosure list below.
Implement with Initia-specific correctness:

Be explicit about network (
```
testnet
```
/
```
mainnet
```
), VM,
```
chain_id
```
, and endpoints (RPC/REST/JSON-RPC).
Keep denom and fee values aligned (
```
l1_config.gas_prices
```
,
```
l2_config.denom
```
, funded genesis balances).
Ensure wallet/provider stack matches selected frontend path.
Ensure tx message
```
typeUrl
```
and payload shape match chain/VM expectations.
Keep address formats correct (
```
init1...
```
,
```
0x...
```
,
```
celestia1...
```
) per config field requirements.

Validate before handoff:

Run layer-specific checks (for example
```
scripts/verify-appchain.sh --gas-station
```
to check health and gas station balance).
Verify L2 balances for system accounts if the rollup is active.
Mark interactive commands clearly when the user must run them.

Documentation Fallback

When uncertain about any Initia-specific behavior, prefer official docs:

Core docs:
```
https://docs.initia.xyz
```
InterwovenKit docs:
```
https://docs.initia.xyz/interwovenkit
```

Do not guess when an authoritative answer can be confirmed from docs.

Script Usage

Contract scaffolding:
```
scripts/scaffold-contract.sh
```
Frontend provider sanity check:
```
scripts/check-provider-setup.sh
```
Appchain health verification:
```
scripts/verify-appchain.sh
```
Address conversion (hex/bech32):
```
scripts/convert-address.py
```

System key generation (

bip_utils

; pass

--vm <evm|move|wasm>

for denom-aware defaults; mnemonics are redacted unless

--include-mnemonics --output <file>

scripts/generate-system-keys.py

Expected Deliverables

When implementing substantial changes, return:

Exact files changed.
Commands to run for setup/build/test.
Verification steps and expected outputs.
Short risk notes for signing, key material, fees, or production-impacting changes.

Output Rules

Keep examples internally consistent.
Include prerequisites for every command sequence.
Avoid unsafe fallback logic in key or signing workflows.
Never print raw mnemonics in chat output; if needed, write them to a protected local file.
If uncertain about Initia specifics, consult official Initia docs first.
