Post207 words
Lists the Celestia-based rollups, frameworks and interop projects set for Q4 mainnet and token launches. Argues this turns Celestia, which has no smart contracts, into a cohesive app ecosystem and adds utility for TIA as its backbone asset.
Key claims
Q4 2024 brings mainnet and token launches for Initia, Movement, Eclipse, Caldera, Astria, Forma, Mitosis, Hyperlane, Union and Spicenet
Celestia is not an execution layer, so these rollups supply the app layer
Ecosystem growth increases utility for TIA
The @CelestiaOrg ecosystem is about to go wild.
Q4 means mainnet and token launches for:
- @initiaFDN interoperable, VM-agnostic rollup ecosystem*
- @movementlabsxyz MoveVM L2 on Ethereum
- @EclipseFND SVM L2 on Ethereum
- @Calderaxyz Metalayer for interoperable rollup eco + RaaS
- @AstriaOrg L1 for based, sovereign rollups on Celestia
- @Formachain first Astria-based, sovereign rollup on Celestia
- @MitosisOrg modular liquidity & yield sourcing layer
- @hyperlane modular & highly customizable interop solution
- @union_build zk-powered, fully permissionless interop layer (IBC)
- @spicenetio hyper-performant Solana L2 with Celestia underneath
- many more
* ) Including ecosystem of app-specific Minitias like @blackwing_fi, @TucanaNetwork, @Inertia_fi or @milky_way_zone.
What that means?
$TIA stakers and @CelestineSloths will be eating gud.
But more importantly, that @CelestiaOrg is finally getting the (interoperable) ecosystem of highly performant, application-specific execution layer that are super easy to launch.
Remember, Celestia doesn't support smart contracts. It's not an execution layer like Ethereum or any L2.
With all the above rollups, frameworks and infra building blocks, the ecosystem is quickly maturing, and morphing into an actually cohesive network of apps that people can use.
This will also mean more utility for $TIA, as it becomes the backbone asset of this emerging on-chain economy.
