It was colder than the previous two layers, its slopes sometimes painted with a gentle and iridescent snow.”
The halfling pantheon made their home here, in the Green Fields, for the layer represented a life of common and habitual virtue. Crops, meadows, moors, hills, and rolling countryside all bathed in a soft glow reminiscent of the luster of white pearls. “The third heaven was the lush and verdant land of Venya, the Heaven of Pearl. Here, the noblest warriors came for their eternal rest, those who had spent their lives fighting in defense of virtue-and here, if necessary, was the marshaling ground for Heaven's armies.” “The second layer of the mountain, Mercuria, was known as the Golden Heaven, because warm and sourceless golden light suffused it. Lunia embodied the call to virtue that speaks to those mired in the sorrows of our benighted world.” There, the sky was always night, flooded with the silver specks of what might be taken for stars: in reality, millions of blessed souls, singing the chant of ascent to those beneath. “Known as the Silver Heaven, Lunia was the lowest layer of the Celestial Mount. Could be useful if you have game scenes there. They were a bit random so I gave them each a symbolism to become a ladder of spiritual progress or whatever. Though it’s still early in our journey, we hope one day Celestia’s sky will be filled with stars.For project in sig I had to write a little blurb for each celestial layer. Our goal is to empower anyone to deploy their own decentralized blockchain quickly and securely. Zaki Manian, co-creator of IBC and early Cosmos contributor Onward and upwardĬelestia is exploring a new frontier in blockchain design. It provides a shared security layer for blockchains communicating with each other using IBC, unlocking limitless potential. Celestia is the missing piece of the Cosmos architecture. We will leverage infrastructure from the Cosmos ecosystem and contribute some infrastructure of our own to help push this vision closer to reality. We too see value in lowering the barrier for people to deploy their own blockchains and envision a future of heterogeneous, interconnected blockchains. Celestia users are like stars which create a small amount of light on their own, but the more stars there are, the brighter the night sky becomes.Ĭelestia’s vision also aligns with that of Cosmos. The more users there are requesting these proofs, the more security and throughput the chain will have. Celestia also acts as a shared security layer to enable these individual chains to connect and interoperate with each other in the same way that stars cluster and connect to form constellations.ĭata availability proofs power Celestia by ensuring that the chain is transparent and auditable by anyone.
Celestia is a universal consensus network that gives as much freedom as possible for developers and communities to build their own custom blockchains. Like the sky, Celestia is open, expansive and unbounded. Celestia does not just sound nice, it has a deeper meaning that is symbolic of the underlying protocol we are building. We’ve chosen the name Celestia which means “heavenly” or “of the sky”. Unlike stand-alone blockchains, chains deployed on Celestia can interoperate with best-in-class security guarantees, enabling a rich ecosystem of interconnected blockchains to emerge. This subtle change enables anyone to use Celestia as an on-demand consensus network on which to run their own blockchain. What is Celestia?Ĭelestia is a new paradigm for blockchain architecture that separates consensus from computation. Although LazyLedger is catchy and succinctly captures the minimal nature of our protocol, we wanted a name with more mass appeal. A good name communicates vision and inspires a community to rally behind it.
We’re excited to announce that we are henceforth rebranding LazyLedger as Celestia!
