Digital Ownership, First Principles and Arcane Dark Arts with Barry Plunkett

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
Communication is infinite
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
