Introducing “The Internet of Modular Blockchains" 🧵
Though appchains caught on in 2022,
@cosmos
invented them in 2016 with the "Internet of Blockchains" vision.
Cosmos is home to today's appchain revolution, but it's
@CelestiaOrg
+ Cosmos that will unlock the appchain endgame.

Let’s clear this up once and for all
Alchemy, the Graph and all other blockchain indexers are NOT data availability services
Neither are file storage protocols like Filecoin and Arweave 👇🧵
A recent criticism of web3 is that it isn’t actually decentralized, because there are centralized services in the mix, such as NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, and data availability services like Alchemy. 🧵

Dymension's launch is a major moment for the modular ecosystem.
Dymension was one of the first teams to share Celestia's vision of a "rollup development kit" for anyone to deploy their own rollup.
But Dymension is much more than a rollup framework -- it's an entire toolset…

A short history of AVAX narrative chasing 👇
2019-2021: we’re an ETH killer! (solved scaling with new consensus algo)
Feb 2022: we’re a modular blockchain! (except rollups suck and DA is made up)
Oct 2022: we’re the best at appchains! (even though we have no plans for interop)

I respect
@blknoiz06
so I dug into the numbers on Eth L2 fees & TPS vs Solana. Here's the result:
Fees for Eth L2's with Celestia underneath are roughly equal to Solana.
~ $0.0086 for a tx on
@aevoxyz
vs $0.0087 on Solana
TPS across all Eth L2's is ~60 as per
@l2beat
whereas…
as someone who understands the validity of the integrated L1 thesis & also the modular architecture thesis, this is silly
there is not a single eth L2 in prod competing with solana on fees, or TPS, by a factor difference of about 100x

Kinda funny seeing the monolithic maxis fudding the modular ecosystem.
They can't comprehend that different chains can cooperate instead of competing.
Plus they feel threatened that fees on Eth L2's are now on par with Solana.

I'll tell you a dirty secret.
The number of validators in a network is meaningless.
What matters is stake distribution, i.e. how many validators need to collude to reach 33% or 66% of stake?
You'd be surprised how low these numbers are for top networks 👇

Hate to burst peoples' bubble, but *no* DA solution except for 4844 or Danksharding itself can inherit Ethereum security.
In fact, you can't use ETH to secure non-native DA bc DA withholding is an unattributable fault.
For data availability, we use
@eigenlayer
because a domain specific interoperability hub should inherit security from the same source as the rollups it connects. Eigenlayer affordably and significantly increases the Ethereum network's DA throughput.

So much has been invested into EVM L2s on Ethereum. Rightfully so because there's a massive market there.

I expect this to change.

PSA: Celestia and EigenLayer are NOT competitors.
Data availability and restaking are different and complementary tools.
Data availability lets a rollup inherit security from an existing chain.
Restaking uses an existing token as collateral for economic security.

• Compliance can be baked into the state machine
• Modularity provides new ways for platform operators and asset issuers to monetize
