Celestia

Celestia is a modular data availability network designed to securely scale with the number of users, making it easy for anyone to launch their own blockchain. It decouples consensus and data availability from execution, providing a flexible foundation for decentralized applications.

Celestia introduces a modular blockchain architecture, allowing for specialization in consensus and data availability. This design enhances scalability, flexibility, and interoperability, enabling developers to build blockchain applications tailored to their specific needs.

Unlike monolithic blockchains that handle all functions within a single layer, Celestia separates consensus and data availability from execution. This modular approach allows for greater scalability and flexibility, as each layer can specialize and optimize for its specific function.

Data availability sampling is a feature in Celestia that allows nodes to verify that data is available without downloading the entire dataset. This enables light nodes to participate in the network securely and efficiently, contributing to Celestia's scalability.

Developers can deploy customizable blockchains as easily as deploying a smart contract, with the flexibility to use various virtual machines. Celestia's modular architecture provides abundant throughput and scalability, facilitating the development of decentralized applications.
