What is Celestia?

Celestia is a modular data availability network that securely scales with the number of users, making it easy for anyone to launch their own blockchain. It is a minimal blockchain that decouples execution from consensus by introducing a new primitive, data availability sampling. Celestia enables anyone to easily deploy their own blockchain with minimal overhead.

The purpose of Celestia is to provide a secure and scalable solution for deploying blockchains. The project aims to solve the problem of limited scalability in traditional blockchain architectures. The potential use cases and applications of Celestia include enabling rollups and L2s to publish and make transaction data available, and allowing anyone to launch their own blockchain.

Celestia's technology works by decoupling execution from consensus, introducing a new primitive, data availability sampling. This allows for secure and scalable deployment of blockchains. The network utilizes a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, where TIA holders can participate in securing the network and governance by staking the token.

Celestia differentiates itself from competitors by its modular architecture and data availability sampling technology. This allows for secure and scalable deployment of blockchains. The project compares favorably to competitors such as Ethereum, as it provides a more scalable solution for deploying blockchains.
