This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Barry Plunkett from Skip Protocol
Barry Plunkett, advocates for reclaiming digital ownership and identity from big tech through first-principles thinking and decentralized systems. He sees Cosmos as a platform offering infinite ways to solve problems, where technology, community, and values-aligned tokens converge to reshape the digital future.
Skip Protocol is a Cosmos-based infrastructure platform that helps blockchains and validators capture and distribute MEV through tools like sealed-bid auctions and block SDKs. Its mission is to democratize MEV while protecting users from harmful practices like frontrunning.
