Celestia — Modular DA Layer

Data Availability

Celestia separates data availability (DA) from execution and uses Namespaced Merkle Trees plus light-client sampling to verify data without downloading it all. Execution layers (rollups, apps) publish their data to Celestia while running their own consensus/VMs.

Node roles

• Light: DA sampling, low-cost client
• Bridge: bridge to celestia-app
• Full: stores EDS/blocks

Why it’s unique

• Decoupled execution & DA
• Verifiability via sampling
• Scale via rollups

Risks / focus

• Healthy P2P for EDS
• Reliable RPC/gRPC providers
• Snapshots / state-sync for fast RTO

Solana — Parallel Execution

Sealevel

Solana achieves high throughput with Sealevel, a parallel runtime where transactions declare accounts/resources up front. Combined with Proof-of-History, this enables predictable ordering and pipelined processing.

Principle

Declarative account access → avoid conflicts → parallel execution.

Uniqueness

PoH + Turbine + Gulf Stream → high TPS and low latency.

Validator focus

Network/disk/CPU tuning, version pinning, QoS, rich telemetry.

Lava — Decentralized RPC Marketplace

RPC Network

Lava coordinates a decentralized market for RPC. Providers stake and serve requests; apps route traffic through the network for reliable, censorship-resistant access to blockchain data. Quality and honesty are economically incentivized.

Principle

On-chain coordination of RPC supply/demand with staking & slashing.

Uniqueness

Multi-chain coverage with QoS incentives and gateway routing.

Operator focus

SLOs, latency/error budgets, and regionally diverse deployments.

KYVE — Decentralized Data Archiving

Data Pools

KYVE standardizes how historical blockchain data is archived and retrieved. Pool operators ingest chain data, persist to permanent storage (e.g., Arweave), and serve verifiable access for analytics and indexing.

Principle

Chain-specific pools define rules for ingestion and validation.

Uniqueness

Permanent storage backends with standardized output formats.

Operator focus

Integrity proofs, redundancy, and cost-aware retention strategies.

Gitopia — Decentralized Code Collaboration

Web3 Git

Gitopia combines Git with blockchain infrastructure, allowing developers to host repositories in a decentralized and censorship-resistant way. Contributions, merges, and issues are all cryptographically verifiable on-chain.

Principle

Distributed Git hosting with blockchain-backed governance and incentives.

Uniqueness

Commit and collaboration history secured by Tendermint consensus.

Validator focus

High availability RPC endpoints for repository sync and user APIs.

Arkeo — Decentralized Data Access

Middleware

Arkeo is an open marketplace for accessing blockchain data. It decentralizes access to APIs and historical archives, enabling verifiable, censorship-resistant infrastructure for dApps and analytics platforms.

Principle

Providers serve blockchain data while staking to guarantee reliability and uptime.

Uniqueness

Combines access control, payments, and telemetry in a single decentralized layer.

Validator focus

Optimized networking, storage durability, and trusted API relays.

Aura — Interchain Infrastructure

Cosmos SDK

Aura Network focuses on scalable and user-friendly Web3 infrastructure within the Cosmos ecosystem. It provides interchain smart contracts, NFT standards, and interoperability for on-chain assets and identities.

Principle

Build interoperable tools and standards for Web3 adoption on Cosmos.

Uniqueness

Bridges NFT and identity use-cases across multiple chains via IBC.

Validator focus

Active governance participation, secure key management, and uptime.
