With the accession of more ecological partners and the integration of core protocols, Skate will continue to promote the unification of inter-chain logic and liquidity integration, bring unprecedented infrastructure standards to cross-chain finance, and is expected to fundamentally reconstruct the scalability and user experience of Web3.
Skate is a stateless, cross-virtual machine infrastructure layer that is committed to providing a unified application logic and liquidity framework for the multi-chain ecosystem. It allows developers to deploy applications once and share state and logic between multiple chains, significantly reducing development costs and improving cross-chain deployment efficiency.
In fact, the current Web3 infrastructure is generally fragmented, that is, each chain has an independent operating environment and contract system, developers need to repeatedly write and deploy logic, and users frequently switch between multiple wallets and application interfaces. Skate achieves synchronous coordination of logic, state and liquidity by building a universal execution environment, so that cross-chain applications no longer need to migrate or copy state, and can achieve smooth interaction without relying on bridge operations.
The core design goal of Skate is to provide a highly composable and scalable operating framework for on-chain applications without hosting assets or duplicating states. Its underlying architecture supports compatibility with multiple virtual machines such as EVM, Solana, TON, Move, etc. It has native cross-VM coordination capabilities and ensures security and verifiability in the cross-chain process through stateless execution and AVS verification mechanisms.
With this architecture, Skate provides infrastructure support for building a unified multi-chain application logic and liquidity network, pushing Web3 from "multi-chain deployment" to "inter-chain integration", and laying the foundation for the underlying platform for the next generation of cross-chain DeFi and asset protocols. As one of the important narrative directions that fits the current industry development trend, the project is about to launch TGE in the near future and is receiving widespread attention from the market.
Infrastructure Design
Skate's architecture design revolves around the core principle of "stateless collaboration", aiming to build a runtime system that is compatible with multiple virtual machine environments and has cross-chain coordination capabilities. Unlike traditional on-chain applications that need to deploy and maintain complete logic and status on each target chain, Skate provides a lightweight coordination layer that is only responsible for synchronizing intent, scheduling logic and liquidity, while assets and status are always retained on the original chain.
Skate's execution model is based on an intent-driven mechanism, in which users sign their operation intentions on the native chain, and the executor in the Skate network completes the cross-chain operation, and performs security verification and task scheduling through the AVS provided by EigenLayer. This model eliminates the cumbersome process of users manually crossing chains and achieves true inter-chain abstraction and seamless interaction.
In terms of system structure, Skate adopts a modular "hub-and-spoke" design, which uniformly handles application logic, state mapping, and message passing at the central layer, and flexibly connects execution modules on each chain side. This design not only achieves compatibility support for EVM and non-EVM networks, but also reserves an extensible interface for future new chain architectures.
In addition, Skate introduces the concept of global application logic. By hosting a set of cross-chain shared logical states and unifying the on-chain call and state access interfaces, it fundamentally solves the deployment burden of "each chain needs to reconstruct the application". The decentralized, stateless, cross-virtual machine coordination model is making Skate a key middleware connecting the multi-chain ecosystem and providing stable system support for composable finance, asset interoperability and the next generation of cross-chain infrastructure.
Skate AMM: Building the next generation liquidity engine
Skate AMM is the core product module in the Skate architecture. As a unified liquidity engine, it is committed to solving structural problems such as decentralized asset liquidity, inefficient arbitrage, and inconsistent pricing in a multi-chain environment. It connects asset markets on different chains by building a price state system shared across virtual machines, achieving a high degree of coordination between price discovery, arbitrage execution, and capital scheduling.
In traditional cross-chain architectures, liquidity is often divided by chain, resulting in asset pricing deviations on new chains and limited market depth, further weakening the capital efficiency of users and protocols. The global Bitmap liquidity model built by Skate AMM integrates transaction pools in different virtual machine environments into a unified view and synchronizes price status with the main chain (such as Ethereum L1) as an anchor point. This structure allows all transactions to inherit a unified pricing curve, greatly reducing cross-chain slippage and arbitrage costs.
Illustration: How Skate AMM aggregates ETH/USDC price Bitmaps scattered across multiple chains (such as Solana, TON, Ethereum) into a unified global price view, improving pricing consistency and arbitrage efficiency.
Skate AMM also has the ability to automatically rebalance. By integrating fast cross-chain messaging protocols such as Hyperlane, it can achieve real-time inter-chain liquidity scheduling, so that asset distribution can be dynamically optimized according to market demand. This mechanism not only improves capital utilization, but also brings a continuous source of fee income to the protocol.
Specifically at the application layer, Skate AMM provides ideal liquidity support for the cross-chain expansion of stablecoins and real-world assets (RWA). For example, in Plume Network, the native stablecoin pUSD is using Skate AMM to achieve seamless liquidity coverage of multiple chain ecosystems, which not only avoids repeated deployment of liquidity pools, but also achieves higher pricing efficiency and arbitrage stability.
With its plug-and-play deployment method and unified arbitrage execution path, Skate AMM is gradually becoming the "liquidity operating system" for emerging asset protocols in the process of multi-chain expansion, and also provides a reliable cross-chain market access layer for DeFi protocols.
Currently, on the eve of Skate TGE, it has launched a round of interactive points activities on AMM DEX. Users can earn points by trading on its AMM DEX, and the points will be exchanged for airdrops at TGE: https://amm.skatechain.org/swap
Using RWA as a market entry point
Currently, the RWA track is ushering in an unprecedented development window. In 2025, the total supply of stablecoins has exceeded 240 billion US dollars, and the total locked volume of the RWA protocol has exceeded 25 billion US dollars. Behind this is not only the continued growth of user-side demand, but also the active participation of traditional financial institutions such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. The new trend indicates that the on-chain asset market is moving from "crypto-native" to "structuring and institutionalization."
At the same time, the new generation of stablecoins are showing the characteristics of "interest-bearing" and "cross-chain native". More and more protocols are starting to issue stablecoins linked to off-chain income and seek to obtain a wider range of usage scenarios through multi-chain deployment. However, in reality, most asset protocols are still subject to problems such as fragmented cross-chain liquidity, severe price deviations, and high deployment costs, which hinder their sustainable expansion.
Skate AMM is designed to address these key pain points and provide a structured solution by unifying the pricing system and shared liquidity pool between virtual machines. Skate AMM can significantly improve the efficiency and credibility of new assets entering the multi-chain market, ensure price consistency, improve arbitrage stability, and bring native fee income to the protocol.
Take Plume Network's pUSD as an example. This stablecoin was originally issued for a specific ecosystem, and it is difficult to achieve efficient expansion without inter-chain liquidity coordination. Through Skate AMM, pUSD can quickly access the unified liquidity system of multiple chains, avoiding repeated deployment and price slippage. While improving liquidity depth, it also provides Plume with sustainable MEV revenue and pricing initiative.
From an application perspective, Skate is gradually becoming the default liquidity infrastructure layer for stablecoins and RWA protocols to enter the multi-chain market, which not only facilitates the cross-chain growth of the asset market, but also promotes the formation of the "inter-chain capital network". The new structure will build a more stable and scalable financial foundation for the Web3 world.
Skate AVS: The first system in the EigenLayer ecosystem to achieve actual usage-based protocol revenue generation and redistribution
A key difference between Skate and other infrastructure projects is that it not only has a clear technical architecture and application path, but has also demonstrated strong market fit and sustainable revenue capabilities in actual operation.
So far, Skate has been successfully deployed in multiple mainstream virtual machine environments, including EVM chains such as Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain, as well as SVM-based non-EVM networks such as Solana and Eclipse. These deployments have verified Skate's portability and operational efficiency in multi-chain systems, and also reflected its ability to respond quickly to real user needs.
It is reported that within just two months of its launch, Skate AMM’s cumulative trading volume has exceeded 100 million US dollars and completed the first round of protocol fee distribution. The new revenue system is not built through pre-mining or token subsidies, but is truly based on the fee income generated by on-chain transaction activities, marking Skate as the first AVS on EigenLayer with the ability to repatriate actual protocol revenue.
More importantly, these protocol revenues are distributed to AVS re-stakers periodically based on usage rather than statically accumulated, thus forming a sustainable incentive mechanism driven by real usage. This mechanism not only increases the participation enthusiasm of Skate running nodes, but also builds a verification service reference paradigm for the entire EigenLayer that is "centered on real needs."
At this stage, in the context of the AVS model generally facing "high valuation and low income", Skate provides a replicable template: how to build a sustainable and verifiable protocol income system through cross-chain liquidity and high-frequency trading structure. As more DeFi protocols, RWA applications and on-chain assets are connected to Skate, the scale of protocol income is expected to continue to grow and further enhance the network effect of the entire system.
Skate is driving a new infrastructure paradigm, a protocol economic model driven by real transaction flow, setting a quantifiable growth path and replicable incentive structure for AVS and modular verification services.
Conclusion
Skate is building a truly cross-chain application infrastructure for the multi-chain world. Through stateless architecture, AVS security, unified liquidity engine, and native compatibility with all mainstream virtual machine environments, Skate not only reshapes the technical path of cross-chain interaction, but also provides an efficient, composable, and sustainable operating base for stablecoins, RWA assets, and a new generation of on-chain financial protocols.
At the critical stage of Web3's move towards multi-chain collaboration and asset interconnection, Skate's technical framework and product mechanism have completed closed-loop verification from concept to implementation. With the access of more ecological partners and the integration of core protocols, Skate will continue to promote the unification of inter-chain logic and liquidity integration, bring unprecedented infrastructure standards to cross-chain finance, and is expected to fundamentally reconstruct Web3 scalability and user experience.
