Skate (formerly known as Range Protocol) serves as a decentralized infrastructure layer that connects users and developers to various blockchain virtual machines (VMs) such as EVM, TonVM, and SolanaVM. It introduces the concept of a universal application scope, where applications maintain a single state accessible from any connected chain. This approach simplifies the development process and enhances user experience by removing the need for asset bridging and reducing liquidity fragmentation. Skate's intent-centric model ensures that transactions are executed efficiently, promoting a more cohesive and scalable multichain environment.
