Skates Road to the Future
Previously, in the Skateboard Workshop on the Nollie testnet, we showed users how to have a unified and smooth single application experience across different chains and blockchain virtual machines. Now, with the Shadow mainnet, we are about to launch a decentralized trust engine to protect all Stateless applications, including:
- Hub Chain on the mainnet
- Pre-confirmed AVS on Eigenlayer mainnet
- The first Stateless pilot project: Enabling Polymarket on TON
Skate Hub Chain is officially launched
As the core processing unit of the Stateless application model, Skate Hub Chain is now online. It will run as an Ethereum L2 network, improving scalability and adaptability through the dual data availability solutions of Avail and EigenDA. Hub Chain manages and hosts the unified state and core logic of all connected peripheral chains and virtual machines (including EVM, TonVM, and SolanaVM). This setting enables applications to run seamlessly in multiple blockchain environments. At the same time, it ensures that various applications are in a consistent state and logic layer to meet the needs of performing efficient and interoperable cross-chain operations.

Skate Pre-confirmed AVS
Another key component of this release is the pre-confirmed AVS, which is now live on the Eigenlayer mainnet. Built using Othentic’s technology stack, this system is critical to Skate’s stateless infrastructure, ensuring that all callbacks handled by stateless applications are secure, publicly verifiable, and result quickly.
The importance of pre-confirmation AVS is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
- Decentralized trust source: Verify all external task data of TaskBox to ensure that the tasks executed by the Skate executor network on the peripheral chain are always valid
- Cryptoeconomic security: ensuring that executors act honestly and commit to executing the intent they receive
- Fast results: Once verified by AVS, all intent operations processed on Skate can be considered as final confirmed results, thereby achieving fast results for cross-chain intents
In short, our AVS ensures that everything processed through Skates stateless infrastructure is fast, secure, and trustworthy.
The first Skate Stateless application: Polymarket Pilot
The first Stateless pilot application is now live, and we will enable the Polymarket prediction market on the TON network. This integration will allow millions of Telegram users using the TON blockchain to interact directly with the leading prediction market Polymarket deployed on Polygon without the need for cross-chain bridging.

Skates Stateless design pattern enables the same application to run seamlessly on different virtual machines (such as TON and Polygon), ensuring that users can get a unified user experience in any blockchain environment. This pilot is a new starting point for realizing Skates greater vision. We plan to gradually expand this solution to other chains, such as Solana and EVM-based chains (such as Mantle), to demonstrate how Skates Stateless infrastructure can unify application development and ensure efficient access to a variety of powerful decentralized applications (DAPPs) in major blockchain ecosystems.
As part of the initial launch event, we invite users to participate in the corresponding stress test. The maximum bet for the first event is $1,000, and it focuses on only one prediction event - the winner of the 2024 US presidential election. In the first week, users can earn 10 Ollies points for every $1 bet.
Everyone is welcome to experience the various powerful features of Skates Stateless infrastructure while earning corresponding rewards.
