Episode notes

In blockchain networks, while innovation like data availability, sampling, and light clients are unique and important, the performance and throughput are ultimately constrained by the capabilities of full nodes. Celestia's innovation lies in light clients and data availability sampling, which do not directly increase network throughput. However, the increase in light clients can lead to upgrading full node hardware, thereby potentially improving throughput. On the other hand, traditional high-throughput chains emphasize the significance of light clients for data availability and sampling.

Logan Jastremski, Co-founder of Frictionless Capital, sits down for an in-person podcast with Tommy to discuss scaling solutions for high throughput blockchains. They dive into integrated chains like Solana versus modular approaches like Celestia, balancing decentralization and performance, Layer 2 rollups, the differences between downtime and reorgs, and more. Logan breaks down his views from a first principles perspective and where he thinks the infrastructure is heading long-term.

Join them as they unravel the future of high throughput blockchains through an enlightening exchange of ideas and expert analysis.
