Celestia recently revealed plans to boost its block size to up to 1 gigabyte, as part of its efforts to improve data transfer efficiency and broaden the functionalities within its rollup ecosystem, according to a blog post.
Celestia’s main focus is on expanding to 1 gigabyte blocks to enhance the network's ability to process transactions efficiently and effectively. This is in line with the industry's push for blockchain scalability and lower transaction expenses, while improving data storage and retrieval methods.
Celestia stated that with the 1 gigabyte blocks in place, its ability to process transactions would exceed that of Visa's current handling of around 24 000 transactions per second (TPS). This advancement could open up possibilities for blockchain applications by bringing previously impractical ideas such as verifiable web apps and entirely on-chain gaming into reality.
Celestia’s ambitious plan puts it in rivalry with other protocols like EigenDA and Avail.The way Celestia operates is distinct from Ethereum, as it is not limited by execution layer complications or state expansion which enables a proactive scaling approach.
On the same day, EigenDA announced that it joined forces with Conduit's cloud platform to temporarily increase its block size from 2 megabytes to 16 megabytes, aiming to reduce operating costs for layer-2 scaling chains by a factor of eight.
Meanwhile, Ethereum's recent Dencun upgrade introduced "blobs," temporary off-chain data stores designed to reduce costs for layer-2 scaling networks by allowing them to bypass the need for posting large volumes of data directly on-chain.
