Skip Protocol: The API for Seamless Cross-Chain Experiences on Cosmos & Beyond

Interoperability is the holy grail for a multi-chain future or the ‘internet of blockchains’. However, while IBC (inter-blockchain communication protocol) revolutionised permissionless cross-chain transfers, it was Skip Protocol’s Go API that took advantage of Cosmos’ infrastructure (and its numerous messaging protocols), to create an end-to-end interoperability platform, allowing developers to design seamless cross-chain user experiences.

We were joined by Sam Hart, head of product at Skip Protocol, to discuss the challenges of interoperability across Cosmos & Ethereum, and how Skip:Go API & Skip:Connect push the crosschain boundaries towards end user adoption.

Topics:

• Sam’s background
• The Other Internet
• Skip Protocol: bringing seamless interoperability to Cosmos
• Monetization for Skip:Connect & Skip:Go
• The Skip:Connect oracle and how Cosmos chains pull data
• Cross-chain MEV
• MEV blockers
• Ethereum vs. Cosmos ecosystem development and activity
• Ethereum bridges vs. Cosmos IBC
• Cross-chain interoperability
• Skip’s multi-chain expansion
