Celestia is a modular blockchain designed to enable scalable, customizable, and sovereign blockchain deployments with high data throughput.
Celestia is a modular blockchain platform that enables developers and organizations to deploy their own sovereign blockchains with the ease of deploying a smart contract. It separates consensus and data availability from execution, allowing for unprecedented scalability and customization. This modular approach removes traditional blockchain bottlenecks by enabling high throughput data availability, targeting over 1 GB/s of data throughput, which supports expressive and complex onchain applications that were previously impractical.
Designed for developers who want full-stack control, Celestia allows customization of every layer of the blockchain stack without locking users into a specific virtual machine or framework. This flexibility supports a wide range of use cases, from decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset tokenization to fully onchain gaming and communication layers. Celestia’s ecosystem includes projects like Arbitrum Orbit, Hibachi (a provable exchange), and D3Doma’s domain tokenization platform, showcasing its ability to underpin diverse applications.
Getting started with Celestia involves running a light node with minimal commands to directly verify and join the network. Developers can leverage the Celestia node API and abundant documentation to post data blobs, build sovereign rollups, and integrate with existing Ethereum rollup frameworks. The platform also supports participation in governance and network security through its native token, TIA. Celestia’s modular design and high throughput make it a compelling choice for teams building scalable, customizable blockchain applications that require sovereignty and performance beyond traditional monolithic chains.
Traditional blockchains combine consensus, data availability, and execution in a single layer, which limits scalability and flexibility. This monolithic design creates bottlenecks that restrict throughput and customization, making it difficult to build highly scalable or specialized blockchain applications.
Deploy your own sovereign blockchain as easily as deploying a smart contract.
