Consensus: CometBFT with Data Availability Sampling (DAS)
Celestia is the pioneering modular data availability (DA) blockchain that started the modular crypto revolution. Founded by Mustafa Al-Bassam and John Adler, Celestia decouples execution from consensus and data availability. By focusing purely on ordering transactions and proving data availability via 2D Reed-Solomon Data Availability Sampling (DAS), Celestia enables developers to deploy sovereign rollups as easily as deploying a smart contract.
