The single sequencer rollup on decentralized DA barbell We're in the early innings of an extremely powerful new design paradigm for crypto apps One that gives builders the benefits of being onchain like verifiability and immutability with the benefits of web2 UX and fullstack control. Teams like @hibachi_xyz @rise_chain and @bulletxyz_ (not on Celestia) are among the first to take advantage of this to achieve extremely low latency and key features like custom tx ordering but they will certainly not be the last. Centralized app UX and DevX on decentralized rails is OP You have been warned

Plume is accelerating RWAfi with Celestia underneath (and eating up our blockspace)

Alpen as a leading Bitcoin L2 is about to radically expand the utility of BTC from pet rock/SoV to the heart of a fully functioning alternative financial system And if they're successful, they're gonna need a lot of DA 😎

The only longterm sustainable source of REV for L1s is DA Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves Please @ me

Celestia had two big protocol announcements last week Lotus upgrade went live reducing issuance, locking staking rewards and enabling TIA bridging via hyperlane Core devs published a Lazybridging demo, the first version of Celestia's native interop stack Shiplestia 🚢

LLMs are trained to imitate patterns of language, not to discover or verify truth. So, when asked to speak as an expert in an area where perceived experts have a widespread misconception, the LLM will parrot that misconception, adopting the register and vocabulary of experts.

New ATH on weekly data posted at 11GB (modulo eclipse + cli)

Been a big week in Celestia's app ecosystem → @hibachi_xyz hit $62m in daily volume, equal to 400% weekly growth → @convergeonchain crossed $1B in pre-launch deposits → @plumenetwork topped the rollup TPS charts and daily DA posting → @townsxyz clocked in $30m of revenue and announced a token launch → @ev_stack & @sovereign_labs both launched new Celestia-native rollup frameworks You absolutely love to see it

Latency more than TPS is the limiting barrier to building novel onchain apps and RISE is pushing that barrier harder than any other team with their shred API <5ms latency is absolutely crazy And you don't just get an inclusion confirmation in 5ms, you get *execution confirmation* meaning you know the updated state resulting from your tx, which is much more useful for many applications like trading Realtime UX is here
