Celestia airdrop is live

ChainCatcher news, the modular blockchain Celestia has announced that the airdrop is now live. 7,579 developers and 576,653 on-chain addresses will have the opportunity to join Celestia from the first block. Eligible participants can claim up to 60 million TIA (Celestia's native asset) before 20:00 on October 17, 2023.

The airdrop will also be allocated to those who contributed to building the early modular ecosystem, including other public contributors developing modular DA layers, such as Avail and Eigenlayer, as well as Solana, who actively participated in Modular Summit I and II.

It is reported that one-third of the total airdrop is allocated to 7,579 developers, while two-thirds is allocated to 576,653 on-chain addresses (20 million TIA is allocated to the most active users of Ethereum rollups; 20 million TIA is allocated to stakers and IBC relayers of Cosmos Hub and Osmosis).

Celestia's native asset TIA is a crucial component for developers building the first modular blockchain network. To utilize Celestia's data availability, Rollup developers submit PayForBlobs transactions on the network, priced in TIA, and charge a certain fee.
