THELOGICALINDIAN - Modular blockchains are one footfall afterpiece to demography on their caked counterparts
The Celestia aggregation has appear the barrage of its aboriginal testnet, codenamed “Mamaki.”
Data Availability Sampling on the Blockchain
Celestia’s aboriginal testnet was auspiciously launched today.
“Mamaki”, an upgraded adaptation of Celestia’s now-retired devnet, offers a new abstracts availability API that allows developers to abide or retrieve abstracts by namespace from the blockchain. New community-oriented appearance accept additionally been added, including the achievability of operating ablaze nodes, delegating to validators, and sending affairs amid wallets.
Other projects developed in alongside with the Celestia alternation will be bringing added upgrades to Mamaki. A Celestia-native EVM adjustment band is expected.
According to Celestia co-founder John Adler, Mamaki marks the aboriginal time that “end-users can accomplish Data Availability Sampling (DAS) on a persistent, permissionless, decentralized blockchain.” He went on to explain that DAS accustomed “block admeasurement to access [securely] as added nodes accompany the network” after sacrificing decentralization.
A “modular” blockchain network, Celestia paints itself in action to acceptable “monolithic” blockchains such as Ethereum or Solana. It aims at decoupling accord from its beheading layer, alms developers the abandon to calmly arrange their own blockchains aural the network, not clashing in the Cosmos ecosystem.
Celestia’s architectonics should additionally accommodate affinity with any beheading logic, including EVM and SDK, while advancement high-security standards and alienated abeyant ascent issues.
The activity is backed, amid others, by IBC co-creator Zaki Manian and Cosmos co-founder Ethan Buchman, and is accessible about its accord with the Interchain Foundation.
The aggregation fatigued that Mamaki is not Celestia’s incentivized testnet, advertence addition will be launched afore mainnet.
Disclosure: At the time of writing, the columnist of this allotment endemic ETH, ATOM and added cryptocurrencies.
