Light clients are run by the users of the chain. Anyone for example, running a wallet or any or for example service providers like exchanges or shops or payment merchants and so on and so forth. The output is sort of like this nice thing that can sit in a light client and then it's never verified. It's just sort of assumed to be correct. Do you still call these roll ups ZK roll ups though in this case? Yeah, why wouldn't they be ZK rollups?
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.
