Epicenter - Learn about Crypto, Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed TechnologiesCelestia: 1Gb Blocks, Rollup Interoperability & Lazy Bridging. Ismail Khoffi & Mustafa Al-BassamAs Ethereum’s roadmap shifted to a rollup-centric approach, a plethora of rollups have been launched, to the point where L3s have been conceptualized. Celestia sits at the forefront of modularity as it aims to replace the monolithic blockchain architecture with specialized layers that are more suited for scalability and customization. As a result, Celestia strictly focuses on data availability to accommodate the recent rollup expansion, as data storage represents the largest portion of fees on L2s. The Lemongrass upgrade lays the foundation for further use cases being enabled through Celestia, mainly revolving around interoperability and zk pr...2024-09-301h 03

Citizen Web3Mathematics, Rollups and Adoption with Ismail Khoffi
This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Ismail Khoffi, Co-Founder and CTO at Celestia Labs, the first modular blockchain network.
Celestia is the first modular consensus and data network to power scalable, secure Web3 applications. It is a minimal blockchain that only orders and publishes transactions and does not execute them. By decoupling the consensus and application execution layers, Celestia modularizes the blockchain technology stack and unlocks new possibilities for decentralized application builders.
We spoke to Ismail Khoffi about Celestia and:
IT & programming
Math & coding
Merkle trees
Rollups & execution
Apps & fees
Bots & smart contracts

Epicenter - Learn about Crypto, Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed TechnologiesThe Layer-1 Data Availability and Consensus SolutionNB: Since the recording of this podcast LazyLedger changed their name to Celestia.Celestia is a scalable general-purpose data availability layer for decentralized apps and trust-minimized sidechains. It is a minimal, viable blockchain which does time stamping and block ordering.Think back to Bitcoin in the early days, before Ethereum. Layer-2 systems were being built on top of Bitcoin and were leveraging Bitcoin’s consensus layer. This is what Celestia is doing, although it is purpose built and scalable for the exact use case. The implementation details are a lot more complex, and the vision is...2020-09-291h 17
