In this episode of The Crypto White Papers, we dive deep into LazyLedger, a radical blockchain design that breaks away from traditional models by separating consensus from transaction validation. Created by Mustafa Al-Bassam, LazyLedger proposes a system where the blockchain focuses solely on data ordering and availability — leaving transaction execution entirely to the clients.

Discover how this model enables scalable, flexible applications where users control the logic, execute transactions off-chain, and no longer need to rely on global state validation. We’ll also explore concepts like probabilistic data availability, namespaced Merkle trees, and how LazyLedger supports sovereign applications with minimal interdependence.

🔍 Key Topics:

• What makes LazyLedger different from Bitcoin and Ethereum

• Client-side smart contracts and application sovereignty

• Data availability sampling and erasure coding

• Avoiding consensus bottlenecks for scalability

• Real-world applications built on LazyLedger

📚 Based on the paper: “LazyLedger: A Distributed Data Availability Ledger With Client-Side Smart Contracts” by Mustafa Al-Bassam (UCL)
