Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Rehash a Web3 Podcast. I'm your host, Diana Chen. And today we're speaking with Renee Lubov, software engineer at Celestia, about data availability, or DA for short. Renee is one of the founding engineers at Celestia and breaks down for us everything we need to know about DA and how it's implemented at Celestia. We also talk about modularity in blockchains, light nodes, and other technical concepts that you may have heard of before but maybe don't have a clear understanding of just yet. Lucky for us, Renee does a great job of explaining all of these concepts very clearly. On a more personal level, Renee also shares about her background, how she taught herself how to code, what protocol engineering is and how it's different from app development or smart contract coding that you probably first think of when you think of devs in the space, what it was like being a founding engineer at Celestia, and her experience as a in crypto, having joined way back in the early, early days. This is definitely overall a more technical episode than most rehash episodes, but I think it's a great one for everyone to listen to because I think it's useful even for non-technical people to have a basic understanding of how DA actually works. Renee was nominated for rehash by Tina and voted onto the podcast by Tina, Jimmy Chayne, Hudson Jameson, Queen Wartooth, and David Phelps.
