Celestia chain
Overview
Celestia is a modular blockchain network that serves as a data availability layer, separating consensus and execution to enable scalable rollups and sovereign rollups. It uses data availability sampling (DAS) to verify that block data is available without requiring nodes to download all data.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Celestia connects to 18 tracked entities, most strongly to Converge, Cosmos SDK, Chorus One.

Frequently asked questions
What is Celestia?
Celestia is a modular blockchain that provides a data availability (DA) layer, allowing other blockchains (rollups) to post transaction data without executing or storing it.
How does Celestia achieve data availability?
Celestia uses data availability sampling (DAS), where light nodes randomly sample small portions of block data to probabilistically verify the entire block is available, reducing node resource requirements.
What is the role of the TIA token?
The TIA token is used for paying transaction fees on Celestia's network and for staking to participate in consensus as a validator, securing the network.
What is Celestia connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Celestia is linked to 18 other tracked entities, most strongly to Converge, Cosmos SDK, Chorus One.
