We at Skate are super excited to announce that we are live with our first Stateless App allowing seamless interactions across 20+ chains as if it were a single app with one unified state. This release marks a significant shift from the traditional, siloed applications approach and is a major step towards eliminating application fragmentation.
A Paradigm Shift in Web3 Applications
Traditionally, Web3 apps have operated under a monolithic structure, confined to a single blockchain. Successful applications often find themselves forked onto other chains, resulting in multiple isolated states. Skate’s Stateless App model is set to revolutionize this approach by enabling a consistent, unified application state across both EVM and non-EVM blockchain environments. Similar to traditional computing, where you can run the same app on an Android smartphone, on an iPhone, on a laptop browser, even though they are different devices. Skate is bringing this to Web3.
Introducing the Skateboard Workshop
The first pilot stateless app is a Skateboard Workshop where you can assemble your own skateboard across 20+ chains.
You can access the app here: https://park.skatechain.org/en/nft
Users can participate in crafting their unique Skateboard NFT by collecting three essential components: the truck, wheel, and deck. These parts can be minted across any of the supported chains, reflecting the true stateless nature of the app. Once all parts are collected, users can assemble their skateboard on the chain where the ‘deck’ part was minted.
The stateless app has two primary user interactions.
- Minting Components: Users express their intent to mint one of the skateboard parts, receiving a random component.
- Assembling the Skateboard: Upon gathering all three parts, users can assemble their complete skateboard.
Each assembled skateboard will also earn a user 250 Ollies. To be eligible for Ollies, please complete the task here as well: https://app.galxe.com/quest/Skate/GChsetvwYa
Users suspected of mass sybilling will have their Ollies deducted.
Stateless App Roadmap
The vision for stateless apps is to run across all EVM and non-EVM chains and we are rolling out this pilot in 3 phases:
- Phase 1: Integration with over 20 EVM-compatible chains. (Completed)
- Phase 2: Expansion to include TON.
- Phase 3: Extension to Solana and Eclipse.
The team is incredibly excited as the launch of this stateless app represents a fundamental shift in how applications can operate in an increasingly fragmented blockchain world. We invite developers and users alike to join us in this exciting journey, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in blockchain technology. Stay tuned as we continue to expand and enhance the stateless app experience, bringing more chains and capabilities into our ecosystem.
