Arbitrum paid approximately $1,980/MB in DA fees last month. Manta, meanwhile, only pays $3.41/MB with Celestia DA. The modular DA layer can save a lot of gas fees for Rollups. Celestia, Avail or EigenDA... who will win the DA battle?
Why do you need modular DA?
In a monolithic blockchain like Ethereum, data availability (DA) is usually part of the design of a single system, and when block space utilization is high, data availability will become a bottleneck limiting its development. The higher the gas fee, the worse the user experience.
