The most important point is that you don't have to trust a sequencer to not steal your money. Celestia will launch as a mainnet around Q2 or Q3 of this year. And we are launching our incentivized test net next month. It's going to be like the biggest and I guess the first and only pretty much test of data availability sampling lifelines on a real network. We're going to have around 900 lifeline that are doing data availability sampling. So it's going tobe like the larger scale test of her data availability layer with trust minimize lifelines. Very exciting.
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.
