🪐 What Is Celestia (TIA)?
Celestia is the world's first modular blockchain. Its goal is to separate the core functions of a blockchain such as consensus, data, and execution, to be more flexible, scalable, and efficient.
Its native token is called TIA.

🔧 How Celestia Works: Modular Blockchain
Traditional blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin are monolithic, meaning all processes (transactions, data, consensus) happen in one place.
Celestia is different — it only handles data and consensus, while transaction execution can be delegated to other chains.
For example:
DeFi applications can use Celestia for consensus, but the computational process (execution) is done on a separate specialized blockchain.
