NEAR has a DA solution that is 30x than Celestia, it's been on mainnet for over 3 years without any downtime, stateless validation is coming, and has the most weekly active users out of any blockchain. Yet it's "less valuable" than Ethereum Classic... this market is not rational
8000x cheaper than Ethereum!
I wonder how does that compare to other DA solutions like Celestia?

I am as HUGE fan of this collaboration but just to be crystal clear -

Instead, the partnership aims to collaborate on building a zkWASM prover to allow users to select from a number of provers when building and eventually
Expanding the L2 market by introducing Wasm chains to Ethereum.
Polygon Labs and NEAR Foundation are teaming up to develop a zero-knowledge (ZK) prover for Wasm blockchains in order to bridge the gap between Wasm-based chains and the Ethereum ecosystem. When complete, a zkWasm
