1/ Skate is a universal app layer 🌐 that lets decentralized apps run across thousands of blockchains with one unified state. It links virtual machines like EVM, SolanaVM, TonVM, and MoveVM, so users can stay in their preferred chain—l ike TON — and still use Ethereum apps without complex switches 🔄. Backed by EigenLayer, Polygon, and Manta, it’s already proven itself with over $30M in TVL from its earlier days 🚀
Skate’s infrastructure is built on three layers:
- Hub Chain: Handles all logic and maintains the shared application state. acting as a central state machine, similar to an AWS server for Web3 apps.
- Preconfirmation AVS: Deployed on EigenLayer with over $2B in economic trust, ensuring robust security and high throughput, it securely validates and delegates actions to the Executor Network, serving as the primary source of truth.
- Executor Network: A set of registered AVS operator executors that process tasks as directed by the Hub.
It’s a simple bridge for the multichain world: As
@alt_v0rtex , Skate’s co-founder, explains,
"Skate wants to make apps the protagonist again in Web3",
inspired by his trading background where he saw the inefficiency of siloed liquidity across chains
And then rusers avoid wallet chaos, and developers don’t need to build for every chain separately. Skate keeps things fast and affordable, making Web3 smoother and more connected for all.
