Modular Blockchain Ecosystem
Ecosystem of modular blockchains — Celestia, EigenLayer, Avail, EspressoDA.
The modular blockchain ecosystem divides monolithic blockchain functions into specialized layers — Data Availability, Consensus, Settlement, Execution.
Architecture layers:
1. Data Availability (DA) • Guarantee that data is available to all • Celestia (TIA) — modular DA pioneer • Avail (AVAIL) — Polygon project • EigenDA — Ethereum Data Availability • Near DA — Near Protocol DA service
2. Consensus • Celestia provides consensus + DA • Ethereum L1 consensus
3. Settlement • Ethereum — dominant settlement layer • Celestia can be settlement
4. Execution • Rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) • Appchains (Dymension, Eclipse)
