Chain Abstraction Educate: How to Build Whatever - Modular Blockchains with Celestia Underneath

In modular blockchains components like consensus, execution, and data availability can be outsources to specialised modules, allowing them to be independently scaled and optimised. This means greater scalability and efficiency. Join Encode Club and Josh Stein as we kick off the Chain Abstraction Educate series with a workshop on modular blockchains.
