The core of choosing DA is not cost, but safety. Although the cost of DA on ETH is high, its security is also much higher than others. If we consider the cost issue, then we simply don’t need DA and the cost is 0. Isn’t this the logic of the L1 public chain that has returned?

Arbitrum paid approximately $1,980/MB in DA fees last month. Manta, meanwhile, only pays $3.41/MB with Celestia DA. The modular DA layer can save a lot of gas fees for Rollups. Celestia, Avail or EigenDA... who will win the DA battle?

Why do you need modular DA?

In a monolithic blockchain like Ethereum, data availability (DA) is usually part of the design of a single system, and when block space utilization is high, data availability will become a bottleneck limiting its development. The higher the gas fee, the worse the user experience.
