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.
