Celestia: A technical overview
Quick Take
- Celestia is a data availability layer that aims to solve one of the fundamental constraints of blockchain scaling — data availability
- By abstracting consensus from state execution, Celestia promises a more performant network than blockchains that lump the two together
- Celestia utilizes erasure codes to create data availability proofs that guarantee, with high probability, that all that data was posted on-chain
- Celestia nodes can scale better because they are no longer required to store and verify every transaction in the block
- Aside from improving scalability, Celestia also provides application interoperability
