Introduction to Celestia Blob Markets & Rollkit
Celestia represents a fundamental redesign of blockchain architecture through its modular approach. Instead of requiring every blockchain to handle execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability within a single system, Celestia separates these functions into specialized layers. This allows developers to create sovereign and application-specific blockchains that outsource data availability and consensus to Celestia while retaining full control over their execution environments.
About the Course
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Celestia, Blob Markets, and Rollkit. It explains how Celestia redefines blockchain design through modularity, how blobs and Blobstream enable scalable data availability, and how Rollkit allows developers to build sovereign rollups. Each module is structured to combine conceptual foundations with technical mechanics and real-world applications.
What You Will Learn
- How modular blockchain design differs from monolithic systems and why Celestia matters.
- The function of blobs and the economic model of blobspace.
- The role of Blobstream in enabling optimistic and zero-knowledge rollups to inherit Celestia’s data availability.
- How Rollkit provides the technical framework for building sovereign rollups and integrating execution environments.
- Practical use cases within the Celestia ecosystem and experimental integrations beyond it.
- The developer tools available to build modular blockchains and the emerging economics of blob markets.
