This is Matcha. Celestia's next upgrade, and its largest yet. Here's everything you need to know 👇 Scaling ⬆️ Matcha introduces a new high-throughput block propagation mechanism via CIP-38. This will unlock the ability to scale to 128MB blocks, significantly expanding Celestia's capacity and bringing network throughput closer to 1GB/s and beyond. Issuance Reduction ⬇️ The inflation rate is halved from 5% to 2.5%, while validator commissions are increased to 10% to maintain the incentive structure of CIP-41. The reduced issuance also makes TIA more suitable as collateral for DeFi. Any Asset, Anywhere ♻️ With the removal of the token filter, Celestia can support non-native assets. This means any asset can be bridged to Celestia, paving the way for future use as a routing layer on Celestia and beyond. Lighter nodes, faster sync ⏩ CIP-36 reduces the trust period and sampling window from 14 days to approximately 7 days. This means approximately 77% less storage space for lightweight and bridge nodes, and faster sync times. Matcha is the largest upgrade to date, but it also lays the foundation for even greater changes in the future. Get full details on Matcha 👇
