iTunes Summary

In this week’s episode Anna Rose (https://twitter.com/annarrose) interviews Mustafa Al-Bassam (https://twitter.com/musalbas), co-founder of Celestia (https://celestia.org/). 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.
