In today's episode Nick White unveils Celestia's ambitious roadmap, challenging the notion that DA is a commodity. He argues for a future of abundant, sovereign blockspace that could render current L1s obsolete. He also dissects Celestia's three-pillar strategy: abundant block space with gigabyte blocks, verifiable block space through light nodes, and frictionless blockspace via innovations like ZK accounts. The conversation explores how Celestia aims to enable truly unstoppable applications, potentially reshaping the blockchain landscape and even resisting nation-state interference. Thanks for tuning in!
