⏰ Quick read
🫚 A bit of ginger: The Celestia Ginger upgrade (celestia-app v3) introduces a 2x increase in data availability throughput by halving block times to 6 seconds. It includes consensus changes such as transaction size limits (CIP-28), PFB/non-PFB limits (CIP-27), authored blobs (CIP-21), and BBR congestion control by default, improving network efficiency.
🌅 Sunset: The Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) has decided to sunset operations, citing challenges in maintaining effectiveness under the current oversight structure. The DAO will enter maintenance mode on November 29, 2024, and return excess funds to the Cosmos Hub Community Pool while fulfilling existing grant obligations.
✅ Verify: Solana launched Verifiable Builds which enables deterministic builds, ensuring on-chain programs match their source code. Developers use the solana-verify tool for building and verifying programs, enhancing transparency. Verified programs are accessible via Solana explorers like SolanaFM and Solscan.
📰 On the Headlines: Gigagas
The ABC stack introducesGigagas Rollups built on Celestia's modular data availability layer.
What is it all about? ABC enables high-throughput applications with support for 1 GB blocks, making fully on-chain use cases like decentralized exchanges, AI economies, and censorship-resistant social networks feasible. With Gelato, deploying a Gigagas EVM rollup becomes a seamless, one-click process, streamlining developer workflows.
What makes it different? Unlike Ethereum-focused rollups, ABC rollups are sovereign, giving developers the freedom to choose their own bridges and settlement mechanisms, sidestepping the need for an external settlement layer.
What tools are out there? With modular bridging options and compatibility with advanced ZK technologies like RiscZero and SuccinctLabs, ABC rollups offer a customizable platform for building application-specific blockchains.
