Celicia lets users connect directly to the peer-to-peer network and get data about it in a trust-minimize authenticated way. The developer does not have to worry about what's happening behind the scenes, but behind the scenes that you know that it's happening in a trust minimize way. And I guess that means like building applications that rely on it, all of a sudden becomes simpler because you're not trying to parse through all this stuff and trust all of these nodes'
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.
