Some of these new projects that have emerged. They're sometimes acting as like, I know they don't call themselves bridging projects. Are they competing at all with you? So this projects are generally operating under a slightly different security model than normal ZK rollup bridges. That's not what we're trying to build because we don't consider committee based bridging to be scalable or secure. Celesteia tries to kind of scale the cosmon vision of having millions of chains.
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.
