Celestia Deploys Blobstream Solution on Arbitrum Orbit

Layer-2 and Layer-3 solutions built on Arbitrum Orbit can now leverage Celestia's Blobstream to reduce transaction costs.

Celestia Deploys Blobstream Solution on Arbitrum Orbit

On the evening of April 2, modular blockchain Celestia (TIA) announced the deployment of its data availability solution, Blobstream, on Arbitrum Orbit. Arbitrum Orbit is a toolkit that allows projects to build Layer-2 and Layer-3 solutions on the Arbitrum platform.

Layer-2 and Layer-3 solutions on Arbitrum can now use Celestia's light client for data availability sampling (DAS), which verifies the availability of blockchain data without downloading the entire dataset, thereby reducing storage costs and transaction fees.

"With Blobstream, developers can keep building in the Ethereum ecosystem. Spin up customizable, high-throughput blockspace without needing to recruit a committee or use a centralized server for DA. Simply deploy."

Additionally, projects will no longer need to establish data availability committees to store and provide transaction data upon request.

Celestia claims that Blobstream addresses the data availability issues that many startups face when developing products on Ethereum. These challenges often result in higher costs or force projects to migrate to other Layer-1 blockchains.

Blobstream was developed in collaboration with Succinct, a solution that uses zero-knowledge proof to verify blockchain information.

Previously, Celestia also deployed Blobstream on two other major Ethereum Layer-2 solutions, Starknet and Base.
