What is Skate ?
Skate appears to be an innovative blockchain infrastructure layer that connects major virtual machines (VMs) such as the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), SolanaVM, and TonVM. It enables applications to run on thousands of chains with a single state, allowing users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) from any VM while staying on their preferred chain.
This creates a universal application layer, fostering a more connected blockchain ecosystem, especially in the "altVM era" where alternative VMs are gaining popularity for faster performance and improved security. A practical example is Skate’s pilot stateless app, the Skateboard Workshop, which operates across over 20 chains, letting users mint and assemble skateboard NFTs across different networks.
Why is Skate using Orocle & Orand, zkDatabase on their ecosystem?
Skate’s dApps need to interact with** external data **sources or other chains securely. **Traditional oracles **can be centralized or compromised, posing risks to **data integrity **and trustworthiness, especially in a fragmented ecosystem. In addition, for dApps running across multiple chains, maintaining consistent and up-to-date data is essential inconsistencies or delays in off-chain data can lead to errors or inefficiencies in dApp performance, particularly for applications requiring randomness or real-time analytics.
Moreover, cross-chain interactions in a fragmented blockchain ecosystem can compromise privacy and security, especially when sensitive data or transactions are involved. Traditional methods of data synchronization can be inefficient or vulnerable to attacks, posing risks to user trust. Therefore, with Orochi Network’s products Orocle, Orand, and zkDatabase directly address these issues, enhancing Skate’s ecosystem.
How Orochi Network Solves
Skate's dApps encounter principal issues in a disparate blockchain universe such as secure access of external data, real-time consistency of data between chains, and cross-chain privacy. Centralized oracles and inadequate synchronization compromise data integrity, consistency, and security, undermining trust and efficiency. Orochi Network's Orocle, Orand, and zkDatabase address them beautifully and effectively:
-
Orocle** Tackles Secure Data Access:** Skate's dApps need reliable external data, however, traditional oracles may be centralized or hacked, thus compromising data authenticity. In addressing this, Orocle - the products of Orochi Network, which is a decentralized oracle, operates on a provable model, thus reducing risk associated with single points of failure and building trust through a network of distributed nodes, this ensures safe, reliable interaction with external sources or chains, which is pivotal for Skate's broken world.
-
Orand Ensures Data Consistency: Running dApps across multiple chains demands up-to-date, consistent data—delays or errors can disrupt apps, especially those needing randomness or real-time analytics. Orochi’s Orand delivers verifiable, real-time off-chain data using Elliptic Curve Verifiable Random Functions (ECVRF). This keeps Skate’s dApps accurate and efficient, preventing performance hiccups in multi-chain operations.
-
zkDatabase** Secures Cross-Chain Privacy:** Cross-chain interactions often expose sensitive data, and traditional synchronization methods are slow or attack-prone, threatening security and trust. zkDatabase leverages** Zero-Knowledge Proofs** (ZKPs) for private, secure data sharing, with lightweight verification and seamless synchronization. This protects Skate’s users while boosting efficiency in a multi-chain setup.
**▶ The number and stats **
-
Network Activity: Over 193 million transactions and more than 28 million wallet addresses, showing strong user engagement.
-
Financial Engagement: Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeds $30 million, indicating significant financial activity.
-
Cross-Chain Capabilities: Skateboard Workshop, a pilot application, operates across 20+ chains, highlighting practical cross-chain functionality
