The Celestia team announced via a blog post on Tuesday that it has completed the Schwap upgrade and introduced a new set of features to the consensus network. Shwap enables data availability (DA) throughput to massively scale while keeping light node requirements low.
High throughput DA accelerates existing crypto apps and enables new, unstoppable applications using any VM. Lower requirements enable anyone to run an in-browser or in-wallet light node, paving the way for truly verifiable web apps.
Celestia added that the Shwap upgrade introduces a new messaging framework and storage system that enhances sampling and data efficiency retrieval. It reduces full node storage requirements by 16.5x and provides a scalable foundation for ever-growing block sizes.
Celestia is a Layer-1 blockchain that is designed to be the foundation for a new generation of modular rollups. It is designed to be secure, scalable, and cost-effective. Its native TIA coin is down 7% in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $5.845.
