Celestia in Prague

Gm modularists, Members from the Celestia Labs team are heading to Prague for the Gateway conference and ETH prague! We plan on giving talks, participating on panels, and hosting events throughout the week. Be sure to find any of our team during these events if you want to get in

How modular blockchains create a world of abundance

Scarcity negatively impacts monolithic blockchains users two ways. First, scarce blockspace makes blockchains expensive for users. Second, scarcity of choice limits the options developers, restricting innovation. Modular blockchains decouple consensus from execution, enabling blockchains to be purpose-built for a specialty. This lets modular blockchains deliver abundant blockspace for cheap access

The Blockspace Race

We are excited to introduce the Blockspace Race, Celestia’s incentivized testnet program! The Blockspace Race is the largest ever testnet to support data availability sampling, with 700+ sampling light nodes. Throughout 2022, we shipped multiple testnets including Mamaki, the first to support data availability sampling. While these testnets proved

Introducing Rollkit: a modular rollup framework

Neutral and independent from Celestia, Rollkit serves as a community-led public good that empowers developers with the freedom to deploy throughout the modular stack and accelerate innovation

Celestia at ETHDenver

Gm modularists, Celestia Labs is heading to ETHDenver! We look forward to meeting many teams and builders during our time there. Be sure to find any of our team during events to reach out and discuss all things Celestia and modular blockchains. ETHDenverFor the main event, ETHDenver, we will give

Modular vs monolithic: a beginner's guide

You’ve probably heard it before. Celestia is the first modular blockchain network. But what is a modular blockchain, and how does Celestia fit into this? That’s what this post is all about - the brief version anyway. TLDR The first approach to building blockchains was a monolithic design

Introducing sovereign rollups to developers

It’s been a short while since we deployed Mamaki, the Celestia testnet. With a successful launch, we rolled out our alpha data availability API and introduced data availability sampling - a key ingredient in Celestia’s scalable architecture. In the meantime, we introduced sovereign rollups to the world -

Q2 Engineering Update

It's been a whirlwind the past few months, first and foremost with the successful launch of the Mamaki testnet. The data availability nodes on Mamaki have been working as intended while pending upgrades, such as bad encoding fraud proofs, were fully rolled out. We conducted various other internal tests for

Celestia Testnet Introduces Alpha Data Availability API

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the new Celestia “Mamaki” testnet! This marks the next step in our road towards Celestia mainnet - a modular blockchain network that decouples consensus from execution. We are one step closer to enabling anyone to easily deploy their own blockchain, without
