Ethereum scaling solution Starknet is collaborating with blockchain network Celestia to improve data availability for Layer 3 chains within the Starknet ecosystem.

Starknet developers plan to use “Blobstream,” a key component of the Celestia ecosystem. Blobstream acts as a data availability (DA) layer, securely storing large amounts of data off-chain while offering verifiable proofs of its existence.

The collaboration enables off-chain scaling solutions on Starknet to use Celestia, aiming to minimize transaction costs. It involves Starknet developers porting Celestia Blobstream to Cairo — Starknet’s primary programming language — to support the development of Layer 3 appchains. Such Layer 3s on Starknet are currently in the development phase.

“Settling high-throughput appchains on …
