Editor's Note:
Under the SOL-ES-TIA narrative, TIA’s market cap has risen accordingly. Crypto researcher ARNDXT outlines six promising projects built on Celestia—gaming chain Ancient, rollup bridge Hyperlane, ZK solution Skip, rollup protocol Cartesi, infrastructure layer Union, and restaking mechanism Alt Layer—and explains the reasons for optimism in each. BlockBeats presents the translated article below:
We are in the midst of a SOL-ES-TIA season.
TIA will reach SOL’s market cap level, increasing 14-fold to $255.
The TIA (3,3) staking mechanism will set a new precedent, and the ecosystem built upon it is what I’ll focus on here. Below are six projects built on TIA.
Ancient
Ancient is a gaming chain utilizing Optimistic rollups with Ethereum-level security.
Built on Celestia, it enables scalability, lower transaction costs, and near-instant finality. Ancient delivers unparalleled scalability.
Catalysts:
-
I expect Web3 gaming in 2024 to integrate guilds, community ownership, and sustainable token economies.
-
Communities and investors are central to gaming—they start with gaming guilds, witness rapid user growth, and then build their own gaming chains.
Hyperlane
Hyperlane is the first Celestia rollup bridge.
Anyone can deploy Hyperlane across any blockchain environment—including L1s, rollups, and appchains.
Catalysts:
-
Hyperlane documentation is simple.
-
Celestia makes launching rollups easy.
-
Hyperlane easily connects all these rollups.
Modular scaling under Celestia, connected by Hyperlane.
Skip
Skip brings zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to Celestia’s base layer and provides an SDK for interoperability.
Catalysts:
It’s an odd comparison since they solve different problems, but there are some similarities.
-
EigenLayer solves this by offering composable liquidity through liquid staking.
-
Skip offers an SDK for interoperability.
Cartesi
Cartesi is an application-specific rollup protocol featuring a Linux runtime built on Celestia.
It has diverse applications in data model training and on-chain gaming infrastructure.
Catalysts:
-
Massive gas savings open possibilities for open-source games, bringing unique libraries like Werewolf into the Cartesi VM.
-
The backend is coded in #Python, so you don’t need to be a #Solidity developer to build dApps.
Union
Union is a highly efficient zero-knowledge infrastructure layer for general message passing, asset transfers, NFTs, and DeFi.
Catalysts:
-
Raised $4M in seed funding.
-
Launched in January 2024.
-
Runs on ZK, aligning with the interoperability narrative.
Alt Layer
Alt Layer takes existing rollups (derived from any rollup stack such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, ZKStack, Polygon CDK, etc.) and provides them with EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism to bootstrap network security and build a decentralized network.
Restaked rollups are essentially a set of three vertically integrated AVSs.
Catalysts:
-
Establishes the restaking + rollup narrative.
-
Rollup-as-a-service.
