Quick TakeCelestia is a data availability layer that aims to solve one of the fundamental constraints of blockchain scaling — data availabilityBy abstracting consensus from state execution, Celestia promises a more performant network than blockchains that lump the two togetherCelestia utilizes erasure codes to create data availability proofs that guarantee, with high probability, that all that data was posted on-chainCelestia nodes can scale better because they are no longer required to store and verify every transaction in the blockAside from improving scalability, Celestia also provides application interoperability
