I want to explore a little bit the not only the data availability part of this but also sort of the querying for data because this was something where I understand there's like a very specific architecture. What happens though in the example you gave of a sovereign chain to the other part? What do they call it? The orphan chain, the one that's left behind, does that still exist? Does that can that still interact with Celestia? It can do. Or you actually just get two chains. Yeah, you definitely get two chains but what chain do all the exchanges use? What changes do all the wallets use? What chain gets the same ticker and so on and so forth?
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.
