Celestia releases its technical roadmap, aiming to achieve 1GB blocks and full device verification

ChainCatcher news, the centralized data availability network Celestia has announced its technical roadmap, with the core goal of expanding the block size to 1GB, significantly enhancing data throughput. Since the launch of the Celestia mainnet Beta version last year, 20 rollups have been deployed, with Celestia blobs accounting for 40% of the total published data.

The new roadmap is divided into three main workflows: rich block space, verifiable block space, and frictionless block space.

Celestia plans to achieve 1GB blocks by optimizing the consensus network and improving the data availability network, which will enable Celestia to support multiple payment networks of Visa scale running in parallel. Additionally, Celestia is committed to enabling light nodes to run in web browsers, ensuring that anyone can verify applications on any device. The roadmap also includes improvements to the rollup developer experience and cross-chain asset transfers. The Celestia community drives all updates and initiatives through the Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) process, with 24 CIPs currently drafted or proposed.
