In response to community concerns about low income, Celestia co-founder states that the ultimate goal is to achieve fee revenue through economies of scale.

Wu said that recently Celestia celebrated the first anniversary of its mainnet. Co-founder Mustafa Al-Bassam stated that since its launch, over 20 rollups have been deployed, and the performance of the codebase has improved tenfold. The next focus will be on ZK accounts and larger blocks. However, some community members questioned that the Celestia protocol earns only about $800 in fees daily, comparing it to the daily income of a Burger King franchise, which is between $1,500 and $2,000. In response, Mustafa Al-Bassam said that the minimum fees should still be reduced; the minimum fee, set at a value slightly above zero, is intended to deter spam rather than to make a profit. The ultimate goal of Celestia is to achieve fee revenue through economies of scale: by providing applications with abundant permissionless block space (1GB blocks). Attempting to extract profits from the current small-scale block space market before the block space is saturated is shortsighted.
