Lies. GLP-1s ain't going to get you to a 500lbs squat.
The boys love a 500lbs squat.

GLP-1s are going to devastate the fitness industry. they’ll probably cause more job loss over the next few years than AI since it’s a direct replacement for the consumer’s revealed preference

100M+ transactions, $20B+ in volume, 85+ chains
@relayprotocol scaled their crosschain payments product to massive adoption, then built their own chain on Celestia to settle it all at ~$0.005 per order.

Built using Evolve (@ev_stack) SDK and Celestia for blockspace, @xomarket is a permissionless conviction market protocol where anyone can create a market on any topic, with AI-first resolution and a decentralised jury as fallback.
XO's architectural differentiators enabled by this stack:
- runs its AI oracle, LS-LMSR liquidity engine, and creator fees as native protocol logic
- avoids competing with unrelated activity for blockspace when live events drive spikes in volume
- inherits decentralised security without bootstrapping its own validator set
Today the team announced a $6M seed round led by @20vcFund and @picuscap, with @cbventures, and others. XO has done ~$300M in trading volume since winning Celestia's Mammothon hackathon in 2025.

.@RyanSAdams on Etherealize's Productive Money report: "This was the best thing I've read on ETH since the Triple Point Asset thesis and Ultrasound Money meme" "Part of the reason it is powerful is because it's a synthesis of Carl Menger's attributes of what makes for good money with Warren Buffett, who famously only invests in productive assets." "The author argues that Ethereum is both of those things. It is bringing together the money-like properties that Menger values and the productive, yielding, compounding asset properties that Buffett admires so much... ETH is not just money but productive money." "The most bullish thing for ETH is to be understood, and this is a paper that really helps ETH be understood to investors... I think this is worthy of pushing far and wide." "I also think this moves the Overton window to talk about ETH the asset more... This gives a nice narrative to ETH the asset as a store of value asset, which I think in the future, increasingly people will come to view it as such."

Celestia's engineering roadmap is compressing.
V8 (including Hibiscus) is live on Mocha, with Mainnet following next, bringing single-signature cross-chain transfers and ZK-verified messaging to networks built on Celestia.
The following protocol upgrade after V8 will bring 3-second block times and 32 MiB blocks, expanding blockspace capacity in a single step upgrade that will clear the path for Fibre — the highest-throughput blockspace protocol, targeting 1 GB/s throughput in its first iteration.

Reports of Celestia's death have been greatly exaggerated.
The team is as committed as ever, working hard, and unbothered by those chirping in the peanut gallery.
Doesn't matter if it takes years, we are going to continue building for a world of abundant blockspace.

Zcash's comeback is extremely inspiring to me. After the early hype faded, the core team and community persisted through YEARS of seeming irrelevance, sticking to their vision of unstoppable private money. That conviction is now paying off. Celestia has the same DNA. A cypherpunk vision of abundant, unstoppable blockspace, verifiable by anyone in the world. The early hype has faded, but we have a cracked core team committed to the mission, ready to keep going for however long it takes. We'll see it through.

@Seabree35242571 @goyatty You people get mad if we do post, mad if we don't. You can look at when I post to see that social media is a tiny minority of how I spend my time.

We just wrapped up our team on-site. The entire Celestia team came together for a week of deep work on protocol and strategy.
We are energised, heads down and building towards making Celestia’s Vision 2.0 a reality.
We want to be better at sharing our work openly as it happens. To make sure we follow this through, we’ve brought on a new Head of Marketing who will help us do exactly that.

I joined Celestia (LazyLedger back in the day) bc I knew it was gonna be fucking hard. Ambitious projects aren’t built in crypto lifecycles, they take years.
I joined with the intention of sticking by it, building it through *actual* thick and thin, and committing to something I knew was going to span much longer than a 2-year cycle. I wanted this. I wanted to know what it feels like to build a company from the beginning, and I *especially* wanted to know what it would feel like to stick by it when the inevitable FUD comes, when the market is in the absolute shits.
Luckily, I get to do this alongside a team of people whose conviction in Celestia and in one another has only grown stronger. And yeah this might be cringe as fuck, but yeah every single one of us truly *loves* Celestia.

@AirdropGlideApp The only people throwing in the towel will be Celestia's fudders

@etherblaize @nickwh8te @musalbas The scope of whats happening onchain is TINY relative to the potential. Most markets have yet to come onchain. If they do, the vast majority of chains are not going to be able to cut it.

@nickwh8te @musalbas Dead serious non trolling question, why do we need more block space?

Hey guys
I’ve noticed that @celestia hasn’t posted anything since February 17, and both @nickwh8te and @musalbas have been quiet as well.
At the same time, @Modularium_Art on @Formachain seems to have disappeared.
Does anyone know what’s going on?
What happened to @MammothOverlord?
Is this just a temporary pause, or this is end of modular ecosystem?
Maybe @zmanian or @canbildik can share some insight?

@pym0xe @martinezzart @celestia @nickwh8te @musalbas @Modularium_Art @Formachain Not even close, we have years of runway ahead of us
