  • Celestia’s co-founder and its COO talk about how their modular blockchain makes it easier for blockchains to scale. 

    Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

    Celestia, a data availability layer for blockchains, was launched last October to much fanfare. The platform takes a modular approach to blockchains, allowing developers to post data onto it without the need for smart contracts or execution. This makes it extremely useful for scaling roll-ups and other layer two technologies. 

    Celestia co-founder Mustafa Al-Bassam and COO Nick White join Unchained to discuss what Celestia is and how it works, how data availability sampling allows for more scalability, how Celestia compares with other data availability layers, whether Celestia could become a data availability layer for Bitcoin, and comparisons between Celestia and Solana. 

    Show Highlights:

    Mustafa’s background and how his project called LazyLedger ended up becoming CelestiaNick’s vision for modular blockchainsWhy Mustafa believes in the “10,000 rollup” endgameWhy Mustafa thinks that gaming and NFT chains work better on a modular blockchainWhat Celestia is and how it resembles the publication of an article in a newspaperWhat data availability sampling (DAS) is and how it works to ensure that the data is available and accurate for validatorsHow DAS allows for more scalabilityWhat types of applications can be built with this type of modular architectureMustafa’s explanation of the concept of Blob stream and blob spaceHow a rollup can be an independent or sovereign layer, not just a layer 2 to a layer 1How Celestia competes with other DA layers, like the future EigenDAThe role of the TIA token in the Celestia ecosystem How Mufasa hacked the CIA when he was 16 years old and how he transitioned into cryptoWhether Celestia could become a DA layer for Bitcoin layer 2 rollupsWhether Solana could end up becoming an Ethereum layer 2 using Celestia for data availability The proposal to extend the functionality of Celestia without smart contracts in the base layer

    On "Markets Daily," Tom Schmidt, General Partner at Dragonfly, discusses market pricing, indicating a 0% probability of a rate cut in June. He and Sanasie delve into the disappointing performance of Hong Kong ETFs compared to US ETFs, highlighting the former's role as an accessible vehicle for Bitcoin investment endorsed by regulators. Despite Hong Kong's crypto-friendly environment, ETF inflows are slowing in both Hong Kong and the US, with investors shifting towards lower-cost options to reduce fees and improve returns. The conversation anticipates a potentially more hawkish tone from the upcoming Fed meeting but remains optimistic about controlling inflation. They also touch on conflicting views regarding inflation and rate cuts, noting external pressures favoring lower rates to stimulate the economy.
