Cabal

Cabal, a governance-focused protocol built on Initia’s Layer 1 blockchain, has secured $3 million in seed funding. The round was backed by Hack VC, Delphi Ventures, and Nascent, along with contributions from individual investors in the blockchain sector.


Operating within Initia’s ecosystem, Cabal enables users to deposit INIT tokens and Enshrined Liquidity positions in exchange for liquid, yield-bearing assets. These deposits contribute to governance power within Initia’s VIP rewards system, where rollup projects can direct incentives to participants. By leveraging this system, Cabal aligns governance influence with liquidity management while creating an incentive structure for rollup adoption.
