Celestia Modular Approach: Redefining Blockchain Scalability and Flexibility
Sep 25, 2024 at 06:00 pm
Celestia's Mainnet Beta, which debuted in October 2023, has already made an impact in the blockchain market by introducing the first-ever modular consensus and specialized data network.
blockchain technology company Celestia has announced raising an additional $100 million in its latest funding round, bringing the total funds raised to date to $155 million. The funding round was led by Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from Syncracy Capital, 1kx, Robot Ventures, and Placeholder.
Celestia is building a modular blockchain protocol that aims to provide developers with a highly customizable and scalable platform for deploying decentralized applications (dApps). The protocol consists of two main components: a consensus layer and a data availability layer.
The consensus layer, known as Celestia Core, is responsible for ordering and finalizing transactions. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, enabling high transaction throughput and low latency. The data availability layer, called Celestia Data, stores and retrieves transaction data, allowing developers to create rollups or standalone networks with varying capacities and configurations.
According to the announcement, Celestia's Mainnet Beta, which was launched in October 2023, has already seen significant adoption by developers. To date, the first 20 rollup chains have been deployed on Celestia, and Celestia's data blobs now account for over half of all rollup data.
This growth highlights the increasing demand for modular blockchain solutions and the developer community's interest in Celestia's unique approach.
notably, Celestia's modular architecture provides developers with a high degree of flexibility. Unlike traditional Layer 1 (L1) monolithic protocols, which run all programs on a single execution layer, Celestia's design allows developers to deploy applications on separate networks, each with its own smart contract language, virtual machine, or rollup framework.
This approach enables the creation of high-throughput applications that can be deployed independently or integrated into existing ecosystems like Ethereum. It marks a significant shift in blockchain technology, addressing long-standing scalability challenges.
Celestia's core development community has outlined a technical roadmap aimed at increasing the platform's data capacity. Among the ambitious goals is the ability to achieve 1GB blocks, a massive increase in data handling capability that could fundamentally alter the blockchain landscape.
If achieved, Celestia would attain or even surpass Visa's transaction throughput, which currently stands at around 24,000 transactions per second (TPS). Such an accomplishment would not only validate Celestia's paradigm but also establish it as a powerful network capable of handling transaction volumes across multiple networks simultaneously.
However, recent developments regarding Celestia have raised concerns. According to CNF, a crucial event on the horizon is Celestia's native token unlock on October 31, an occurrence that could introduce substantial supply-side pressure, potentially outpacing demand growth in the short term.
The circulating supply of Celestia's native token, TIA, is set to witness a dramatic 390% increase over the next year, sparking apprehensions about the token's market performance and potential price volatility.
Mustafa Al-Bassam, Co-Founder of Celestia and Chairman of the Celestia Foundation, commented on the development, saying:
“When Celestia launched last year as the first modular data availability layer, it scaled blockspace from the dial-up era to the broadband era. Now, the core developers have announced the technical roadmap to scale blockspace to the fiber optic era – while keeping it verifiable and low latency.”
At the time of writing, TIA is trading at around $6.31, up 2.85% over the last 24 hours. The coin also has an impressive daily trading volume of $220.66 million.
