Celestia is a roll up system that was just, that wasn't just Ethereum centric. We were really trying to do a much larger block changing system and it's been kind of like a wild past year. I think one of the key values of blockchain networks should be that users should be first class citizens of a network. Because if you're just querying a centralized database and kind of like erodes at that value a little bit.
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.
