Description




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.






We spoke to Barry Plunkett about Skip Protocol and:



  • Try to always think from first principles

  • Data and our identities are in the custody by big tech

  • Taking back digital ownership rights

  • Cosmos gives an infinite number of ways to solve problems

  • Taking back digital property rights

  • Gun to my head, I'm probably picking the community

  • Arcane dark art

  • We just want to crush the narrative

  • Token that aligns with the technology platform and values of the ecosystem
