How can dApps start using SKALE? A dApp developer who wants to use SKALE has to: Holders of $SKL can delegate their tokens to any validator in the SKALE network. What is the role of the $SKL token? Validators stake $SKL in the SKALE Manager smart contract to earn fees and inflation rewards. Among the early signed up validators are ChorusOne, StakedUS, BisonTrails etc. How are app-specific chains secured? Chains derive their security from the SKALE Manager contract, which is secured by a pool of randomly appointed and frequently rotated validators. dApps deposit their tokens to the SKALE Manager smart contract, which mints corresponding tokens on the app-specific chain. How does SKALE connect to Ethereum? App-specific chains connect to Ethereum via the SKALE Manager smart contract that serves as the point of entry and exit. A dApp pays a subscription fee based on the resources it needs (computation, storage, bandwidth) from SKALE’s validator set. What is SKALE’s business model? SKALE can be thought of as Ethereum-as-a-service.
