Celesteia is a decentralised version of the Bitcoin network. It's designed to let users choose when and how they want to fork it. Celesteia will be able to use hard forks as an upgrade mechanism for roll ups, or 'Sovereign Roll Ups' If you don't have any upgrade keys then there are no party that can steal people's funds.
In this week’s episode Anna Rose interviews Mustafa Al-Bassam, co-founder of Celestia. They cover where Celestia as an idea emerged from, how its rollup-centric data availability (DA) network works and what can be expected from their upcoming launch. They also chat about how Celestia aims to empower Sovereign chains - independent rollup chains that use Celestia as the DA and consensus layer - and how this Sovereign chain model compares with the Ethereum rollup architecture.
