“I think the ecosystem is sleeping on the fact that it's uncomfortably close to a ceiling,” cautions the Ethereum co-founder.
The investment round’s backers include Bain Capital, Syncracy Capital, 1kx, Robot Ventures, and Placeholder, bringing Celestia’s total fundraising to $155 million.
Eclipse aims to bring “Web2 scale to Web3” by combining the best of Ethereum security, Solana’s speed, and Celestia’s data storage capabilities.
The project, spun out of Polygon in 2023, has raised $75 million of funding and claims unique technologies as a provider of "data availability," or DA – the speciality of storing reams of transactional data produced by Ethereum layer-2 networks.
Shared sequencers and data availability (DA) are services that Rome could provide, as blockchain builders increasingly rely on "modular" networks to handle Ethereum's myriad components and functions.
With the incorporation of this security measure, EigenLayer seeks to protect the service it offers while guaranteeing its availability to all clients.
The news comes three months after Avail, the data availability company, disclosed its $27 million seed funding round.
Avail, led by a Polygon co-founder, raises $75 million to tackle Web3 challenges like fragmentation and data availability.
Avail joins forces with leading layer-2 networks for increased Web3 scalability through data availability and rollup unification for a more interconnected blockchain landscape
The chains' users will be able to opt in or out to use Avail for data availability, to stash the reams of data produced for all their transactions taking place.
