Sommelier Protocol

Sommelier is a coprocessor for Ethereum. Sommelier consists of the Cosmos Stargate SDK, its Tendermint-based consensus layer and a decentralized, bi-directional Ethereum bridge, managed by a global network of validators.

Sommelier is built on the Cosmos SDK to maximize interoperability with other blockchains, and the platform is a reimagined gateway into interchain DeFi. With a bridge in place connecting the Cosmos-based platform to Ethereum, Sommelier will be able to execute strategies across multiple blockchains, opening a wide horizon of possibilities.

Traditional Finance has come to rely on the power of off-chain computation, since it allows their strategies to be proprietary and include the work of highly sophisticated data modeling, machine learning models which would be impossible to do On-chain. Sommelier aims to do all of this but without the tradeoff of centralization that exists in traditional finance thanks to its Validator Set.
