Initia, founded by a group of developers in their late 20s, is trying to bring more interoperability to multi-chain networks and simplify the process of creating app-specific blockchains, or app chains.

The questions and answers website nabbed $75 million from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), which will be used to power the growth of Poe, Quora’s AI chat platform.
Even developers who integrate bots with the Poe AI are eligible to earn money.
“In the last two years, the market has changed substantially, driven by rising interest rates and higher cost of capital,” D’Angelo wrote.
“Excluding Poe, Quora is cash flow positive, so all of this new funding will be used on Poe,” D’Angelo said.
“Currently, Poe is one of the top 5 largest generative AI-related properties, and creators have built 1M+ bots on Poe the platform.”
