Our take

Blockchains are currently dominated by "monolithic" architecture. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major chains come as a single package, where every aspect of the chain is tied together. These are inflexible and difficult to customise or scale. Celestia aims to change this with its modular blockchain network, allowing developers to customise each component of the blockchain as needed without having to start from scratch each time.

Celestia's solution competes with the existing model of the larger blockchains, which are racing against one another to provide cheaper transactions. However, the strength of Celestia's decentralised approach is it can compete on fees while also allowing the far greater level of scalability demanded by Web3 applications. Additionally, it avoids the risks of outages that have plagued larger centralised blockchains.

Investors seem to agree with what Celestia is doing: it has completed a combined A and B Series funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto and Polychain Capital. This funding brings its valuation over $1B and into unicorn status. Having initiated an initial testnet in 2022, the company plans to leverage capital to advance its project further.
