Celestia describes itself as “the first modular blockchain network.” Its goal is to “enable anyone to easily deploy their own blockchain with minimal overhead.”

Let’s dive in…

First, what is a modular blockchain?

Instead of one blockchain that does everything, modular blockchains perform specific functions. The aim is to optimise scalability, flexibility, and interoperability. 

What problem is Celestia trying to solve?

“For the past decade, crypto has been bottlenecked by an endless loop of new monolithic [layer 1] smart contract platforms, each racing to the bottom to sacrifice decentralization and security to provide cheaper transaction fees,” said Celestia Labs co-founder.

Celestia aims to allow anyone to create their own blockchain without the cost of building a new consensus network (consensus mechanisms are used to achieve security and trust in a decentralised network). 

How does it work?

Its website offers this analogy: “Think of Celestia as a power grid, except instead of providing electricity, Celestia provides the essential resource to power a blockchain: consensus and data availability. Similar to how anyone can plug into an electricity grid to power their appliance, anyone can plug into Celestia’s network to power their own blockchain. The Celestia token is the currency you use to pay for electricity.”

The blockchain “decouples” the consensus and application execution layers. It “provides a pluggable consensus layer, allowing developers to deploy their own execution layers to run on top.”

The aim is to:

  • Allow developers to build blockchains easily.
  • Reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining a blockchain. 
  • Offer flexibility so developers can customise applications.
  • Make scaling easier (scaling refers to the ability to increase the number of users).
  • Ensure secure interoperability (the ability of different blockchains to communicate and exchange information/assets) for all blockchains on Celestia.
  • Allow protocols to be updated without hard forks.
The project also announced plans for its “Quantum Gravity Bridge project, a Celestia to Ethereum data availability (DA) bridge.” Read more here

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
