Mustafa Al-Bassam was a Ph.D. student in computer science in 2019 at University College London when he published a paper titled “LazyLedger.” Not meant for a lazy reader, the paper went on to describe, in excruciatingly complex terms and Greek mathematical characters, what was then a radical rethinking of how blockchains could work: separating out the various functions of a distributed ledger – especially the way users query the network for data – into distinct “application layers.” A key benefit would be to minimize the total resources needed to run the main blockchain. Al-Bassam now serves as CEO of Celestia…
