Celestia Unveils Blobstream to Transform Orbit Chains in Arbitrum

Celestia has introduced Blobstream, a revolutionary solution set to transform Orbit chains within the Arbitrum ecosystem. This innovative technology simplifies data availability through Data Availability Sampling (DAS), eliminating the need for a data availability committee.

Blobstream is now live on Arbitrum One.

Developers can soon deploy Orbit chains with Celestia underneath on Arbitrum One and Base, the first modular DA integration with *working Nitro fraud proofs* ?️

Created with the help of Succinct Labs, Blobstream improves data processing efficiency for Celestia Developers, making it easier to integrate into the Ethereum ecosystem. The launch of Blobstream represents a major step forward for customizable chains, also called Orbit chains.

These chains can either be Layer 2, settling directly on Ethereum, or Layer 3, settling on Arbitrum’s Layer 2, Arbitrum One. Blobstream leverages Celestia’s technology to make data readily available using a method called data availability sampling (DAS). It ensures that everyone in the network can easily access state change and transaction data.

Developers used to struggle with high expenses and difficulties when trying to make their data easily accessible. Thanks to Blobstream’s utilization of DAS, this task is now simplified and eliminates the requirement for a dedicated team, such as the data availability committee, that was previously essential for storing and retrieving data.
