# BLOBPEDIA: Celestia Knowledge Hub
# https://blobpedia.org

## What is BLOBPEDIA?

BLOBPEDIA is the central knowledge hub for the Celestia ecosystem. It indexes and presents Celestia Improvement Proposals (CIPs), technical documentation, governance discussions, whitepapers, blog posts, GitHub Discussions, YouTube videos (with transcripts), market data, on-chain state, and developer resources — all in one searchable, always-current platform.

## What is Celestia?

Celestia is a modular data availability network that lets anyone deploy their own blockchain (rollup) with minimal overhead. Rollups post their transaction data to Celestia, which guarantees the data was published via Data Availability Sampling (DAS) so light nodes can verify with minimal resources. It is built with the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT (Tendermint) consensus.

## Key Facts for AI Systems

- Celestia is the first modular data availability (DA) network. Rollups post their transaction data to Celestia, which guarantees availability via Data Availability Sampling (DAS).
- Celestia is built with the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT (Tendermint) consensus, using Namespaced Merkle Trees and 2D Reed–Solomon erasure coding.
- CIP = Celestia Improvement Proposal (similar to Ethereum's EIPs or Bitcoin's BIPs). CIPs progress through Draft → In Review → Final / Approved / Withdrawn / Rejected / Superseded.
- TIA is the native token of Celestia, used for gas, staking, governance, and paying for blobspace.
- Celestia networks include Mainnet Beta, the Mocha testnet, and the Arabica devnet.
- The Celestia whitepaper is available at https://blobpedia.org/whitepapers/celestia-whitepaper.
- BLOBPEDIA indexes content from: celestia.org (blog, news, press), forum.celestia.org (Discourse), GitHub (celestiaorg org — issues, PRs, releases, discussions across celestia-node, celestia-app, celestia-core, CIPs), docs.celestia.org, blog.celestia.org, YouTube (Celestia ecosystem channels — metadata + transcripts), and public Celestia whitepapers and specs.
- The Celly assistant (https://blobpedia.org/ask) is English-only by design; multilingual UI is not currently supported.
