What is Celestia (TIA)

1. Project Introduction
Celestia is a modular blockchain project focused on data availability. Its foundational layer comprises consensus and data availability, often referred to as the DA layer by the team. Modular blockchains represent a new paradigm in blockchain design, where each layer is optimized for specific tasks rather than performing all functions within a single blockchain. This specialization enables breakthroughs in scalability, flexibility, and interoperability, allowing developers to build blockchain applications for mass adoption. Celestia's mainnet launched on October 31, 2023.
Summary: Celestia can scale securely with the number of users, and its mission is to make it easy for anyone to launch their own blockchain.
