Imua is an omnichain Layer-1 shared-security and restaking protocol that aggregates crypto-economic security from multiple blockchains and extends it to off-chain services and AI agents. Imua's Twitter Score is 22 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #49,656 (top 10%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Imua was formerly known as Exocore before rebranding. The protocol was co-founded by Warren Paul Anderson as CEO, Rongjian Lan as CTO, and Raluca Ada Popa. It previously received early incubation support from Shima Capital. On February 24, 2025, Imua announced a $5 million seed round led by Draper Dragon, No Limit Holdings, and Paramita Capital, with additional backing from Reforge, Caladan, Alumni Ventures, MH Ventures, Tané Labs, Syntax Capital, JDAC, 57 Blocks, and Lecca Ventures.
Imua is built on the Cosmos SDK with Tendermint BFT consensus and supports an EVM-compatible execution environment. Its architecture introduces restaked Proof-of-Stake, a recursive bootstrapping method that lets externally restaked tokens supply the network's initial crypto-economic security without requiring bridging or wrapping. Supported restaked assets include BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, and TON. Cross-chain coordination relies on components such as LayerZero and Axelar to manage locking, unlocking, and slashing on client chains, with Ethereum Sepolia serving as the first integrated client chain on the open-source testnet.
Imua targets actively validated services whose operators perform off-chain tasks, aggregate BLS signatures, and earn rewards or face protocol-defined slashing. AI agents and decentralized AI networks are documented target applications, with economic security used to verify agent commitments, task execution, and outputs. The native $IMUA token is designated for re/staking, gas fees, and protocol governance. Imua's account has published 2,510 posts and has been mentioned by 32 accounts a total of 116 times, reflecting engagement across the restaking and AI agent ecosystem.
