$TIA : The 'Logistics Hub' of Blockchain
Core Positioning: No work, just dispatching orders
Only does two things:
Collect Transactions: Packages user-submitted transactions into blocks.
Send Express: Broadcast block data to other execution layers.
Absolutely does not touch: Smart contract calculations, asset settlements.
Technical Hard Work: Disassembling the blockchain 'assembly line'
Traditional Public Chain = Factory (Execution) + Warehouse (Storage) + Logistics
Celestia only does logistics:
👉 Specializes in packing and shipping: Quickly sorts transactions using an optimized version of Tendermint consensus.
👉 Data Verification Black Technology: Allows everyone to verify the completeness of blocks at low cost through 'data availability sampling' (light node sampling) to prevent fraud.
Why do developers need it?
The Lifeline of the Rollup Chain:
For second-layer chains like Arbitrum and Base, directly renting Celestia's data layer costs 99% less than using Ethereum.
One-click Chain Freedom:
Project parties use Celestia as the underlying layer to set up a custom chain in 5 minutes (focusing on execution, regardless of consensus).
What is the use of the TIA token?
Pay Protection Fees:
Rollup chains wanting to use Celestia to send data must pay transaction fees with TIA (inelastic demand).
Betting on Dividends:
Staking TIA to participate in network maintenance, earning newly issued TIA + a share of transaction fees (annualized ≈ 8-12%).
Community Decision-Making Power:
Token holders vote to decide on technical upgrades (like throughput optimization).
The Harsh Truth
✅ Advantages:
Modular Track Leader: Fully capitalizes on Rollup expansion dividends, cost crushing Ethereum.
Institutional Endorsement: Binance Labs and Coinbase Ventures have heavily invested.
⚠️ Deadly Spot:
Parasitic Mode: Once the Rollup chain collectively migrates (like after Ethereum upgrades when fees drop sharply), the demand for TIA will collapse.
Valuation Bubble: FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) has exceeded 12 billion USD, but the actual annual revenue is only 24 million USD, with a price-to-earnings ratio as high as 500 times (severely overdrawn expectations).
It's better to enjoy together than alone; you reach out actively, and I can pull you to shore!!
