From Concept to Reality: Modular Blockchain Architecture
summary
Celestia claims a modular stack that separates data availability sampling from execution so rollups verify a million transactions by checking a single proof and sampling ~0.1% sampling of block data, not every byte. The network targets 15‑second blocks, plans gigabyte blocks, and envisions million rollups and a billion light nodes. Examples include rollups-as-a-service platforms, gaming stacks (Argus), a customized EVM rollup (Manta), and permissionless bridges (Hyperlane); risks are liquidity cold starts and lost atomic composability.
