Update from the founder: they run both Socket and Bungee, and Bungee just launched a stablecoin abstraction engine built on top of Socket. They’d like to center the conversation more around that new release since it’s their latest focus. https://x.com/bungeeexchange/status/1971575954423341451?s=46

Deeply IntentsChain Abstraction Isn't Real - VCIn this episode of Deeply Intents, we chat with Vaibhav Chellani, co-founder of Socket, about chain abstraction. VC recounts his journey from building Polygon POS to working on Plasma and ZK rollups at the Ethereum foundation to building Socket and Bungee Exchange. The conversation illuminates misconceptions around chain abstraction and replaces them with emergent mental models. In particular, we discuss chain abstracted applications, bootstrapping marketplaces, and the role of transmitters, solvers, fillers, and market makers in counterparty discovery and settlement. We finish by discussing the future of chain abstraction and playing a win-win strategy. Timestamps(00:00) - S...

Chain AbstractedNuffle pod w Vaibhav Chellani from SocketIn this episode, Socket CEO Vaibhav discusses Socket Protocol, a framework designed to simplify blockchain interactions. It introduces "chain-abstracted packets," allowing applications to operate across multiple networks without relying heavily on intermediaries. With features like gasless transactions and improved security, Socket streamlines the development and use of decentralized applications.

The DCo PodcastEp 26 - Bridgeless FutureFed up with missed opportunities because your crypto is scattered across different chains? In this episode, Vaibhav Chellani, co-founder of Socket, shares his vision for a future where blockchain fragmentation is no longer a barrier.From pioneering ZK rollups before they were mainstream to building Socket, Vaibhav tackles the big issues facing crypto today. We discuss why bridge aggregation isn't the solution, how AI agents could soon make on-chain trades seamless, and why the real conversation isn’t about appchains vs general-purpose chains, but about who controls the state.Socket is on a mission to ma...

Still Early PodcastWhy Users Hate Bridging and How to Fix It With Socket ProtocolIn this Still Early episode, Grant is joined by Vaibhav Chellani from Socket Protocol to discuss tectonic shifts and developments in the blockchain landscape. They address challenges like rollup scaling and chain fragmentation, emphasizing the need for seamless user experiences and chain abstraction.The conversation explores the technical and economic reasons for the rise of L2s and L3s, drawing on VC's experience at Polygon. Vaibhav introduces Modular Order Flow Auctions (MOFA), which delegate on-chain execution to off-chain agents, optimizing actions based on application needs. Traditional account abstraction's hurdles are tackled, introducing Magic...

Zero KnowledgeDeconstructing Bridges with Vaibhav ChellaniIn this week’s episode, Anna chats with Vaibhav Chellani, a bridge builder and the co-founder of Socket. They explore what makes up the components of a bridge, the types of bridges, and then look at their framework for analysing the security trade-offs of different bridge architectures. This is an important topic, since at present, there are more and more bridges coming online to connect all the different chains together. And with these come a number of new bugs, hacks and exploits. This episode gives us an overview on how to think about bridges. Here are some li...

BanklessThe Great L2 Migration | Cross-Chain L2 PanelWe think 2022 is going to be a huge year for Layer 2 scaling solutions. Cross-Chain protocols will be a crucial infrastructure for the great migration to L2s, allowing users to bridge assets across platforms. Composability and user experience is the glue of modular blockchains, which optimize for decentralization, scaling, and cost. The projects and representatives each present cryptographic solutions for building a web of liquidity across the many suburbs of DeFi, where average users will live and engage.
