The Logic of Chain Abstraction - Ankit Chiplunkar

In this episode of Deeply Intents, we sit down with Ankit Chiplunkar, co-founder of OneBalance. We discuss his path from aerospace engineering to resource locks. Ankit breaks down his prior research at Frontier, including MEV, order flow auctions, and the CAKE framework. Next we invest time into discussing OneBalance, resource locks, credible accounts with TEEs and the future of chain abstracted applications. Finally, Ankit shares the secret sauce of how he balances startup life and family time.Chapters(00:00) - Origins(01:36) - Aerospace engineer(06:54) - Time at Coinbase(09:49) - EV_Signal & EV_Ordering(14:32) - Orderflow Auctions(19:07) - Order types and user preferences(21:16) - Solver speed and price auctions(26:20) - Baking CAKE(29:12) - Different types of users(38:12) - Users have chains(43:25) - One Balance & Resource Locks(52:35) - Credible Accounts with TEEs(58:49) - New user preferences every cycle(1:04:50) - Access to users across networks(1:10:14) - The path for chain abstraction(1:15:00) - Intents + Chain Abstraction(1:20:58) - Balancing life DisclaimerNothing in this episode should be interpreted as financial, technical, or legal advice.
