Celestia plans to increase its block size to 1GB
The modular blockchain project Celestia (CELT) is planning to increase its block size to 1GB. This move is part of Celestia's plan to maximize data availability, the project stated in a recent roadmap update. A larger block size will allow Celestia to store more data on its blockchain, which will make it more attractive to developers and users. Celestia is a layer-1 blockchain protocol that is designed to provide data availability and security for other blockchains. By increasing its block size, Celestia will be able to support more complex and demanding applications. The increase in block size is expected to take place in two phases. In the first phase, the block size will be increased to 256MB. In the second phase, the block size will be further increased to 1GB. The first phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, while the second phase is expected to be completed in 2024. The increase in block size is a significant development for Celestia and paves the way for the project to become a major player in the blockchain ecosystem.
