Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

celestia is a blockchain designed to be used purely by rollups

in theory it should allow to launch rollups with very cheap (and secure) fees

eg base could be deployed as an OP Stack rollup but post data to celestia instead of ethereum

closes competitors are EigenDA / Polygon Avail / ETH after 4844 (none is live yet)

What's the most successful roll up using Celestia?

Do people consider Celestia an Ethereum competitor?

Is Celestia POS? How decentralized / secure? Is it EVM or something else?

Think like this celestia is what ethereum was in 2016-2017 — no revenue no defi no apps — just vision and speculation. Celestia will be home of 1000s of apps and at that time in 2028 bull market will be about apps and not infrastructure. Celestia is a first mover and its monopoly right now.
