👹Why Shogun?

Shogun is the first Integration Layer - an abstraction that consolidates the entire on-chain experience of different chains, rollups, and more into one unified application layer.

Our thesis is simple: on-chain user experience is a struggle even for crypto natives and it's only getting worse with the rise of thousands of rollups, chains, and other modular networks. We've all faced issues when using DeFi beyond the basics: slow bridging between chains, different gas tokens and wallets for new ecosystems, dealing with multiple exchanges just to swap between tokens, and the list goes on. And once you've got the basics down, prepare to have hundreds of tabs open for the multiple protocols/apps it takes to do anything on-chain. If we hope to achieve adoption beyond Crypto Twitter, something has to change. Blockchains aren't unique in their struggles to achieve mainstream adoption due to a high learning curve - perhaps the best example of this is the Internet. While the early Internet provided a way to connect computers and networks around the world, it required too much esoteric knowledge to achieve adoption beyond IT specialists and hobbyists. But that all changed with the introduction of the Web, which provided a user-friendly way for everyday users to interact with the Internet. The irony of Web3 today is that it isn't really a web. Whereas Web 1.0 and 2.0 had a standardized way to interact with the Internet through HTML, websites, and other abstractions, there is no standard way to interact with different blockchains today. Instead, each ecosystem acts as walled-garden and hopes to become the standard bearer in the future, relying on various bridges for interoperability with other ecosystems. Enter Shogun: the first Integration Layer. We provide a unified user experience that makes all disparate blockchains feel like one - the Web of the Interchain. Instead of requiring users to deal with all of the underlying issues of blockchains, we ask them to simply broadcast their intent - the desired end-state they hope to achieve on-chain. The execution of that intent is led by our network of solvers, specialists who have the knowledge and skills to find optimal execution paths on behalf of users. Once solvers complete execution, validators verify proper execution and settle the orders, ensuring solvers remain compliant with the platform. In short, we have people with specialized knowledge handle all the difficulties of interacting with blockchains instead of every day users. Shogun is the easiest way to get on-chain for both users and developers. You'll love Shogun if you are tired of:

• dealing with different wallets, gas tokens, bridges, etc.

• scouring multiple centralized and decentralized exchanges just to buy a specific token

• needing to spend countless hours learning the nuances of each chain just to incorporate basic functionality into your apps
