Celestia is a modular data availability (DA) network that securely scales with the number of users, making it easy for anyone to launch their own blockchain without having their own validator set. Celestia recently launched on Mainnet, going from white paper to protocol. Many exciting applications are being built with Celestia and new primitives are being discovered in the realm of Data availability sampling (DAS), Light nodes, DA narratives and more.
