What is Celestia

Celestia is a unique layer 1 blockchain whose only job is to order transactions and verify that the published data is available. This allows specialized blockchains for hosting applications to deploy on top of it. By taking this approach, Celestia achieves properties of scalability, flexibility and interoperability unmatched by previous blockchain designs.

Celestia is building a modular consensus and data network so that anyone can easily deploy their own blockchain with minimal overhead. Celestia’s new modular blockchain architecture is made to supercharge the scale and rate of Web3 innovation in the next decade.

Celestia introduces modular blockchain architecture to solve the challenge of deploying and scaling blockchains. These specialized chains are less constrained and break the rigidity of monolithic chains into flexible components, promising greater scale, security, and decentralization.
