Celestia FUD Fact Check Feed (October 2025) 🟣 1 | The Setup Critics say Celestia is just another L1. Reality: it’s a modular data availability and consensus layer, not an app chain. It provides the consensus and blobspace other chains rent. Think AWS for blockchains. 🟣 2 | Real Usage, Real Fees According to 59 + GB of data posted in the last 30 days 4 000 + TIA paid in fees Thousands of blobs daily Top rollups actively paying Celestia DA fees right now: Eclipse 22 526 MB Camp 853 MB Hibachi 13 766 MB B3 306 MB Forma 2.69 MB Manta Pacific 331 MB Yominet 930 MB Ham 130 MB Inertia 814 MB Plume 584 MB These are not testnets. All are live and paying in TIA. 🟣 3 | Fee Levels Low fees do not mean low demand. Fees are intentionally kept low to bootstrap adoption, the same way AWS in 2006 and Ethereum in 2015 did. As usage expands and blobspace fills, fee pressure rises naturally. 🟣 4 | Blobspace Economics Blobspace is the scarce commodity of the modular era. Each rollup rents it with TIA. More blobs mean more fees and higher staking yields. This is real value accrual, not speculation. 🟣 5 | Live Fee Revenue More than 4 000 TIA collected this month. Celestia’s model is simple: usage equals revenue. 🟣 6 | Decentralization Over 1 000 validators are live and verifying. Data Availability Sampling allows even phones to independently confirm blobs. Decentralization scales with users. 🟣 7 | Competition Myth Ethereum DA and Avail are not threats. Danksharding is still in testing. Avail is still pre mainnet. Celestia has been live since October 2023 and has the longest operational record in data availability. 🟣 8 | Tokenomics Inflation drops from 5% to 2.5% to 0.25%. That is disciplined compared to Cosmos-style chains. As fees grow, burns and demand can make TIA deflationary. 🟣 9 | Adoption Proof “Adoption is fake” That is false. Live rollups are posting blobs and paying Celestia DA fees every day. Eclipse, Camp, Hibachi, Manta Pacific, Yominet, Inertia, Plume, and B3 are all active right now. Every byte and every payment can be verified on chain at 🟣 10 | VC Scam Narrative False. There was one incident where Polychain took profits early. Celestia Labs resolved it and cashed them out. Most VC unlocks are complete and absorbed. Only small ecosystem unlocks remain. The dump phase is finished. The build phase has started. 🟣 11 | Governance Governance is fully on chain. Proposals, votes, and upgrades are transparent and verified in code. No foundation or company can flip a switch. 🟣 12 | Builders and Modularity Developers care about modularity because it saves time and cost. RaaS platforms such as Conduit, Caldera, Gelato Orbit, and Dymension exist because Celestia makes data availability simple and affordable. Time to launch is measured in hours, not months. 🟣 13 | Scaling Reality PeerDAS and data sampling make Celestia scale with node count. The more nodes, the faster and more secure the network becomes. Monolithic chains slow down as they grow. Celestia accelerates. 🟣 14 | The Takeaway Celestia is not an L1. It is the data layer of the modular internet. Dozens of live rollups, thousands of blobs, thousands of TIA in revenue. Blobspace is the new blockspace. TIA powers it all.
