The roadmap comes amid fierce competition in data availability among rivals such as EigenDA and Avail.
Celestia, a layer-1 data availability network, unveiled a technical roadmap charting a path to scaling block size to 1 gigabyte, according to a Sept. 5 blog post.
The roadmap’s core objective is to “relentlessly scale to 1-gigabyte blocks, bringing a massive increase in data throughput to Celestia’s rollup ecosystem,” Celestia said. Blocks are bundles of transaction data grouped together on blockchain.
Celestia’s focus on block size reflects an industrywide push to enhance the scalability of blockchain networks by lowering transaction costs and more efficiently storing and retrieving data. Celestia competes with protocols such as EigenDA and Avail, as well as mainnet Ethereum.
