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.
