Speaking with Cointelegraph last week at Korea Blockchain Week 2022, Khoffi stated that the project`s vision is to decouple the consensus layer and the application execution layer, opening up new opportunities for decentralized application builders. Celesita is basically a simplified layer 1 blockchain that provides users with an infrastructure to easily deploy their own blockchain or layer 2.
In the future, we can all have our own blockchain.
It represents one of the greatest social revolutions of our lifetime.
Here are 10 ways tech, finance, jobs and the entire political system are changing
"One of Celestia's goals is to make your own blockchain as easy as deploying a smart contract," he explained, comparing the project to Amazon Web Services. You can start using it."
Similar to how the consensus and data availability layers are separated from the generalization-centric execution layer of the Ethereum vision, Celestia chooses to be modular, yet customizable, giving users the freedom to choose their execution environment:
"In Celestia in China, this kind of thing is not implemented at the base layer, so it is completely outsourced to a different layer. You can have a settlement layer, but as a specific special implementation layer, it only performs settlement on Celestia there, but It's its own thing."
Khoffi added, [The community can choose which settlement layer they want to use, or they can launch their own settlement layer or launch their own sovereign induction".
According to Khoffi, the launch of Celestia was based on the need for a certain sense of sovereignty in the online community, who liked [the idea of launching their own [-] blockchain" without [depending on ethereum`s governance and design choices":
"With your own sovereignty [...] you are not bound by any decision [...] you can be more free in your choices, you can choose on your own chain".
Decentralized autonomous organizations may wish to deploy their own blockchains, set the rules for their operations, and benefit from Celestia`s infrastructure and security, he said.
"It's cheaper, and you [-] have more freedom to choose what you have, and you can do it in your own chain."
Celestia will deploy the testnet in May 2022, and the Celestia team plans to launch the mainnet in 2023. Khoffi said there are still "promotions and bugs to patch" before launch. The Celestia token has not yet been launched, but it has generated a lot of hype.
