According to Cointelegraph, Celestia released its technical roadmap on September 5, planning to expand the block size to 1GB to significantly increase data throughput.
Celestia says that 1GB blocks will enable it to process transactions far beyond Visa, processing about 24,000 transactions per second. This will unlock on-chain applications that were previously considered unfeasible, such as verifiable web applications and fully on-chain games.
Celestia has steadily increased its market share since May, from ~20% to ~40% as of July 31. Unlike Ethereum, Celestia is not limited by execution layer overhead or state bloat, enabling it to transcend current monolithic constraints.
On September 5, EigenDA partnered with cloud platform Conduit to temporarily increase the block size from 2MB to 16MB, with the goal of reducing the operating costs of the layer 2 scaling chain by eight times.
Ethereum introduced “blobs” in its March Dencun upgrade, which aims to reduce the cost of scaling the network at Layer 2 by bypassing the need to publish large amounts of data directly on-chain. Despite competitors’ advances in data storage, Ethereum will remain the primary settlement layer for Web3.
