Initia: Initia L1 and Rollups Scheduled to Resume Operations on November 2
Initia posted on the X platform stating that Initia L1 and its rollups are scheduled to resume operations on Monday, November 2, 2026. The chain upgrade will apply an independently audited MoveVM patch, isolate the attacker's remaining forged balances, and enable additional security measures without rolling back transaction history. Support for AUSD0, USDC.n, and WETH will be fully restored prior to the restart, and no user action is required. To protect users and liquidity providers, the Initia DEX will be paused for a short window, during which designated accounts will rebalance liquidity pools to market prices, with profits generated from the rebalancing returned to affected liquidity providers. Cross-chain bridges and exchanges are expected to resume withdrawals after network monitoring, and the withdrawal period for LayerZero OFT WETH and AUSD0 is set to 24 hours.
