Institutions are increasingly focusing on moving capital markets onto blockchain technology, with Ethereum being highlighted as the only scalable ecosystem that meets the requirements for decentralized and sustainable infrastructure. Celestia, a new blockchain technology, is noted for its ability to allow the deployment of specific-purpose chains with privacy and permissioning, although it does not threaten Ethereum's position. Celestia's maximum throughput is reported at 1.3 MiB/s, suggesting a high-performance chain could achieve less than 20,000 transactions per second (TPS). However, scaling decentralized applications (DA) on Ethereum is emphasized as crucial to prevent Layer 2 solutions from migrating to other chains, particularly if they begin issuing stablecoins directly. The need to enhance Ethereum's consensus layer is seen as vital for maintaining its competitive edge in institutional-scale decentralized finance (DeFi).
