Prop 67: Migrate Civitia OPbridge to IBC

1. TL;DR

This proposal aims to migrate Civitia from the OP bridge to IBC, enabling instant bridging without a finalization period.

2. Proposal Details

This proposal will enable the OP Bridge to use IBC internally for instant bridging and allow IBC to mint existing OP bridged tokens rather than IBC vouchers.

About the Rollup

  • Protocol Name: Civitia
  • Protocol Type: Gaming
Rollup name Bridge ID L1Denom IBC Channel ID IBC Port ID
Civitia 12 uinit channel-27 transfer

Rationale

Civitia was initially launched with an OP bridge that requires a 1-day finalization period for withdrawals from the Civitia rollup to Initia L1. To provide users with an instant bridging experience, we propose migrating Civitia to use IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol instead.

Benefits of this migration:

  • Instant bridging without finalization delays
  • Improved user experience for the gaming ecosystem
  • Seamless integration with existing OP bridged tokens

The migration will configure the OP bridge to utilize IBC internally, enabling instant bridging while maintaining compatibility with previously minted OP bridged tokens. Instead of creating new IBC vouchers, the system will mint the existing OP bridged token format.

If this proposal is approved, users will be able to bridge INIT tokens between Civitia and Initia L1 instantly through IBC, eliminating the current 1-day withdrawal period.

Implementation Details

The technical implementation will connect Bridge ID 12 (Civitia) with IBC channel-27 using the transfer port, allowing seamless migration from the OP bridge infrastructure to IBC while preserving token compatibility.
