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