Skip

Skip (originally Skip Protocol, skip.money) is the interchain infrastructure company that rebranded to Cosmos Labs and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Interchain Foundation, leading engineering and growth for the Cosmos blockchain stack. Its skip.money and skip.build domains now redirect to cosmos.network. The team maintains the open-source Cosmos SDK, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), the CometBFT consensus engine, and Cosmos EVM — the most widely adopted Layer 1 blockchain toolkit, deployed across 200+ chains. There is no independent Skip-branded hosted API; the public developer surface is the Cosmos SDK node REST + gRPC interfaces documented at docs.cosmos.network, with source on the cosmos GitHub organization.

Skip is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Blockchain, Interchain, Cosmos, and Infrastructure.

Skip’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, changelog, support, and 4 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/skip: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
