1. TL;DR

This proposal seeks to formally delist Intergaze from Initia’s VIP program and transition toward leaner operations with deeper and more strategic integration across Initia appchains.

2. Background

2.1 About the Project

• Protocol Name: Intergaze
• Protocol Blurb: The Launchpad and Marketplace for Interwoven NFTs.
• Protocol Type: NFT / Marketplace

3. Rationale & Impact

Background

Intergaze launched as a cultural hub for Initia, connecting appchains, creators, and communities through curated NFT mints and integrated trading. Over time, it has become one of the most widely used appchains on Initia, with:

• 19,456 wallets interacting with the platform
• 19 curated collections minted
• 435k+ INIT in total trading volume

Despite these successes, maintaining VIP compatibility is no longer a priority for the platform as we seek to move from mints each epoch to more selective value additive mints.

Intergaze will be available for use by appchains who would like to introduce collections for commemoration, POAPs, in-app utility, and more.

Additionally, if members of the community would like to launch collections and curated mints on Intergaze, we are here to support.

However, our focus will no longer be having community mints each epoch in line with VIP and therefore seek to delist Intergaze.

Why Are You Delisting Intergaze?

• Strategic Shift: Intergaze’s primary focus will be strategic mints with Initia and appchains rather than community mints.
• Operational Efficiency: The VIP program requires continuous overhead and mints every epoch.
• Collaborations: Intergaze has already delivered successful joint campaigns with projects like @civitiaorg and @embrdotfun, and will prioritize further collaborations and ecosystem activations.

VIP Score and Rewards

Unvested VIP Rewards will not be lost. A step-by-step guide will be published showing users how to “zap” unvested rewards — pairing esINIT with USDC to transform into a staked position on Initia which earns staking rewards.

4. What’s Next?

Intergaze will remain fully operational and continue as Initia’s NFT Hub. We are currently focused on upcoming launches and upgrades related to Initia’s other appchains.

Creators can still apply for curated mints (application form), and we will continue to feature community mints—moving away from fixed 2-week intervals to on-demand launches.

Upcoming integrations and campaigns include:

• Transferable NFTs from other Appchains on Initia
• Civitia NFT Trading
• A few top secret Initia L1 POAPs
• An undisclosed treasury strategy

Initia will also support Intergaze with curation, onboarding, and marketing campaigns as part of a tighter collaboration between Intergaze, Initia, and appchains.
