Latest developments for TIA, MATIC and various altcoins
TIA and MATIC formed a partnership
In a groundbreaking move in the blockchain space, Celestia, a major player in data availability solutions, announced its collaboration with Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK). This partnership will lead to a significant transformation by revolutionizing the launch of high-throughput layer 2 chains on Ethereum by integrating Celestia’s data availability layer with Polygon CDK’s zero-knowledge interoperability and unified liquidity. Drawing parallels with the high-speed revolution in Web2 applications, Polygon founder Nailwal emphasized that the integration will facilitate the launch of highly efficient ZK-powered Ethereum Layer 2 and potentially increase Blockchain adoption.
Celestia’s data availability layer has already shown its impact by reducing Ethereum L2 transaction fees for end users by over 100x. The scalability of this layer is further enhanced through the innovative data availability sampling (DAS) mechanism, which is open to contributions from any user running a Celestia light node on a Polygon CDK chain. Polygon CDK’s user-friendly interface has enabled developers to successfully deploy ZK Layer 2s on Ethereum. Major projects such as OKX, Astar, Canto, Gnosis Pay, Palm and IDEX have already adopted Polygon CDK, demonstrating its growing influence in the Blockchain ecosystem.
