There’s a very real chance that Celestia’s design decisions ultimately end up being correct in a fully agentic onchain economy where all that agents care about is speed and cost.
Some basic math concludes that at full block saturation and current DA costs, 3 TB/s equates to ~$2B in annualized revenue.
I’m of the opinion that DA costs are still too high and will drop another order of magnitude over time, but 10+ TB/s is where it starts getting *very* interesting.
L1s are commoditized, yes. Apps rule. We get it.
But making a very small amount of money at a gargantuan scale is still ALOT of money.
I’m watching this space closely.
A prospective customer with extreme throughput requirements asked how much capacity Fibre can really deliver. So we ran an end-to-end benchmark across 120 validators.
It sustained 3.07 Tb/s of throughput, enough data for nearly 2 billion transactions per second. Every transaction Visa processed in 2025 would fit in just over two minutes.
