Revenue model

1. Data Availability Fees: Rollups and chains pay data availability fees to post transaction data to the Celestia network. Fees are based on data size posted, creating a consumption-based revenue stream.
2. Staking Revenue: TIA token is used for staking by validators who secure the network. Stakers receive staking rewards, creating a yield product. Bitwise launched a Celestia Staking ETP on Euronext Paris providing institutional exposure to staking rewards.
3. Governance Participation: TIA token holders participate in on-chain governance decisions, aligning token utility with network development and creating governance-based value capture.
4. Custom Chain Development Services: Enterprise engagement model where Celestia designs and builds custom high-throughput chains for clients, including architecture design, development, security auditing, and production handoff. Creates revenue through professional services and long-term infrastructure partnerships.

Core offering

Celestia operates a modular blockchain network that separates consensus and data availability from execution, functioning as a data availability and consensus layer for rollups and app-specific chains. Its core product is the Celestia Data Availability Network, complemented by Fibre Blockspace (up to 1 Tb/s throughput), Private Blockspace (confidential onchain markets), Custom Blockchain Development services, the Node API, Blobstream, and the Sovereign SDK framework. Customers post data and pay DA fees in TIA, or engage Celestia as a full-stack partner to design and ship production-ready custom chains.

Product overview

Celestia is a modular blockchain infrastructure company offering a portfolio of products centered on its core Data Availability Network. The product lineup consists of: (1) the core Celestia DA Network using Data Availability Sampling for sovereign rollups, (2) Fibre Blockspace for high-throughput blockspace at 1 Tb/s capacity, and (3) Private Blockspace for confidential onchain markets. Additional offerings include custom blockchain development services where Celestia designs and ships production-ready chains for enterprises, the Node API for programmatic access, Blobstream for Ethereum L2 integration, and the Sovereign SDK framework. The company operates through two entities: Celestia Foundation supports long-term development and governance, while Celestia Labs serves as the core engineering team.

Brands

• Private Blockspace: A product offering confidential onchain markets with publicly verifiable guarantees, keeping balances, positions, and order flow private while allowing independent verification of data availability.
• Fibre Blockspace

Products and services

• Celestia Data Availability Network Modular blockchain network that provides data availability and consensus as a service, enabling rollups and app-specific chains to offload these functions and deploy without bootstrapping a new consensus network. Customers pay DA fees in TIA based on data size posted.
• Fibre Blockspace High-throughput blockspace layer delivering up to 1 Tb/s of data throughput (250M to 1.25B TPS at micropayment sizes), designed for high-frequency trading venues, exchanges, and AI agent micropayments.
• Private Blockspace

Quantifiable outcome

• 1.25B TPS throughput capacity via Fibre protocol

Direct peers

• EigenDA (EigenLayer): EigenDA is EigenLayer's data availability layer secured by restaked ETH. It is the most direct competitor to Celestia in the dedicated rollup DA segment, competing on cost, security model, and Ethereum alignment rather than sovereignty.
• Avail: Avail (formerly Polygon Avail) is a standalone modular DA and consensus layer targeting the same rollup and app-chain customer base as Celestia, with overlapping Light Client / DA-sampling technology and competing on integration with the Polygon/Ethereum ecosystem.
• NEAR DA: NEAR DA provides data availability services to rollups using the NEAR Protocol validator set. It directly competes with Celestia for L2 DA customers, bundling DA with an established Layer 1 ecosystem and sharding-based throughput.
• Dymension: Dymension is a network for deploying lightweight "RollApps" using its own settlement and DA infrastructure. It is a direct competitor for app-chain deployments, sharing Celestia's rollup-centric developer audience.

Emerging players

• Espresso Systems: Espresso is building a shared sequencer and DA layer for rollups with overlapping customer profiles (rollup teams needing decentralization and interoperability). It is a partial competitor in the modular stack where Celestia operates.
• AltLayer: AltLayer is a Rollup-as-a-Service provider supporting Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, and Polygon with built-in features. It is both a Celestia channel partner and a partial competitor for app-chain deployment services.
• Caldera: Caldera is a Rollup-as-a-Service provider focused on Arbitrum Orbit and OP Stack deployments. It is a Celestia integration partner and competes for the same custom-chain enterprise workload.
• Conduit: Conduit is a no-code rollup deployment platform for OP Stack and Arbitrum Orbit chains, integrated with Celestia for DA. It is a partner in Celestia's distribution network and a partial competitor for managed chain deployment services.

Broad incumbents

• Polygon Labs: Polygon operates a broad modular suite (Polygon PoS, Polygon CDK, zkEVM, and the original Avail spin-out) targeting the same enterprise and L2 customer base. While not purely a DA competitor, it competes for the same sovereign-chain and rollup workloads.
• Ethereum (EIP-4844 blobs): Ethereum's native blob space (post-Dencun) is the baseline against which Celestia's DA offering competes on cost and sovereignty. While Ethereum is not a direct peer in modular DA, blob pricing and capacity directly shape Celestia's value proposition for Ethereum L2s.
