Crossing the Chasm
summary
A modular layer‑1 called Celestia claims to enable mainstream crypto by separating consensus/data availability from execution, using data availability sampling and an upcoming Matcha 21 MB/s upgrade that raises max throughput to 21 MB/s (~64× Solana L1). Examples: Bullet runs a Rust rollup doing trades at 1 ms latency (vs ~100 ms for Hyperliquid) aiming for 200,000 orders/sec; Pay implements private stablecoin payments with ZK proofs and iCloud/Face ID wallet UX. A proposed proof of governance cuts issuance from ~5% to 0.25%.
