The previous blockchains (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) were 'monolithic chains', having to do everything themselves: consensus, settlement, data storage, making them slow and expensive.

The current trend is modularization. Just like assembling a computer, you buy the best CPU, graphics card, and hard drive individually, and then piece them together.

Key takeaway: Celestia (TIA).
It is the leader focused on 'data availability layer (DA)'. In simple terms, in the future, whoever wants to launch a new chain does not need to build nodes themselves; they can directly rent the underlying infrastructure of Celestia, which is both cheap and fast. This not only reduces costs and increases efficiency but also revolutionizes the threshold for launching chains.

Why should you pay attention to TIA?
Not only because of the coin price, but also because it is a golden shovel. Many new modular projects using Celestia technology (like Dymension, AltLayer, etc.) will airdrop rewards to TIA stakers to thank them for their support. Staking TIA means laying the groundwork for the future of the entire modular track.
