Celestia is ready to launch The journey began in 2019 with the ambitious goal of creating a modular blockchain ecosystem with data availability layers and “execution engines” that seamlessly integrate. This vision has evolved into a thriving and collaborative ecosystem. Now, after years of development, the Celestia network is ready to launch. Exploring the unexploredInitially,
Technology Rollups as Sovereign Chains Most applications using Celestia as their consensus and data availability layer will be hosted on rollups. As a new layer 2 solution first proposed to increase transaction throughput, rollups may be the future home of almost all blockchain applications whether they use Celestia, Ethereum or another platform for consensus and
Announcements 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
Announcements Quantum Gravity Bridge: Secure Off-Chain Data Availability for Ethereum L2s with Celestia tl;dr: This post introduces the Quantum Gravity Bridge project, a Celestia to Ethereum data availability (DA) bridge. From the onset of DeFi Summer in 2020, through the eruption of NFTs in 2021, and now an escalation of DAOs, the demand for blockspace on Ethereum has exploded. The deadly combo
Technology Clusters: how trusted & trust-minimized bridges shape the multi-chain landscape We live in a multi-chain world. The idea that decentralized apps will all use the same shared smart contract blockchain is dead in practice. Ethereum is pivoting to a roadmap where apps have their own rollup chains, multi-chain ecosystems such as Cosmos and Polkadot are rising in popularity, as well
Announcements Celestia closes $1.5m seed fundraise from Interchain Foundation, Binance Labs, Maven 11 Capital, KR1, and others We’re happy to share that Celestia Labs (incorporated as Strange Loop Labs in Liechtenstein), has closed a $1.5m strategic seed fundraise. Celestia Labs is building Celestia, a pluggable consensus and data availability layer, to enable anyone to quickly deploy a decentralized blockchain without the overhead of bootstrapping a
Announcements Celestia: A Scalable General-Purpose Data Availability Layer for Decentralized Apps and Trust-minimized Sidechains One of the highlights of this year’s Devcon 5 was optimistic rollups, a new scaling solution that uses the Ethereum base chain for data availability and enforcement of a two-way bridge of assets, with execution happening off-chain on layer two. In addition to allowing for increased throughput and decreased
