The Celestia Foundation is looking to bolster Celestia developers as they bring high-throughput applications to the network. Notably, the $100 million raise comes on the back of Celestia’s core developer community <a href="https://blog.celestia.org/roadmap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcing</a> the project’s technical roadmap.
Scalability is a key focus, with developers aiming to increase the modular consensus network’s throughput to rival Visa’s roughly 24,000 transactions per second. According to the technical roadmap, achieving 1 gigabyte blocks will put Celestia on the path to this goal.

 “When Celestia launched last year as the first modular data availability layer, it scaled blockspace from the dial-up era to the broadband era,”
 Mustafa Al-Bassam, co-founder of Celestia.

Al-Bassam also noted that the new roadmap goes beyond just scaling blockspace further. It is also focused on ensuring verifiability and low latency.
