800K+ collectors, 8M+ NFTs from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and more are processed by @veve_official, an application on top of @CollectChain, built using the Evolve (@ev_stack) SDK and using Celestia for blockspace.
@CollectChain is a purpose-built chain for licensed digital collectibles, enforcing royalties and licensing rules onchain.
By using @ev_stack for execution and Celestia for blockspace, @CollectChain:
- gets 250ms finality for the transactions it processes,
- retains control over execution, fees and its own upgrade schedule, and
- inherits decentralised security guarantees by posting its block data to Celestia without the unnecessary operational, engineering, or financial bulk of bootstrapping a validator set, among other benefits.
The article below describes an architecture that allows products to spend less time operating network infrastructure, and more time building for its users.

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.

The not-inventor of proof-of-work (which was actually invented by a woman called Cynthia Dwork in 1993), along with a few other boomer OG cypherpunk mailing list members, have sadly become senile conspiracist nutjobs that are toxic parasites to the field. twitter.com/adam3us/status…

@VitalikButerin Tides of perpetual motion scams won't be kind to science. Yeah Rrght. My money is on science. You converted premined ETH to BTC, where I own zero shitcoins. Enough said.

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.

PSA: vibe coding can mass produce CVEs I had Claude Code build and deploy a Next.js app on an isolated VM. pnpm resolved to 15.5.12 - patched against the React2Shell RCE (CVSS 10.0). Build failed. So Claude downgraded to next@15.1.0. pnpm printed "WARN deprecated". Claude ignored it and deployed to a public IP. 51 minutes later: cryptominer. One unauthenticated HTTP request via CVE-2025-66478 gave the attacker full RCE inside the Next.js process. The miner ran from memory, installed 4 persistence mechanisms in under a second. The secure version was already installed. The AI chose the vulnerable one because it made the build pass. No harm done - this was a throwaway VM. But imagine this on real infrastructure. AI will always choose working over secure. Review your deps before deploying.

By publishing verifiably encrypted state to Celestia through the Private Blockspace Proxy, private systems can achieve public accountability without revealing sensitive data.
With terabit-scale blockspace on the horizon, Private Blockspace provides the throughput, auditability, and fault resistance that serious onchain markets demand.

Announcing Private Blockspace: built for high-performance onchain markets where confidentiality is a requirement, not a feature.
Positions, balances, and execution logic can remain private, while data availability and protocol commitments are designed to remain publicly verifiable.

Life update: I’m joining @Celestia to lead partnerships.
After evaluating hundreds of startups over two years at @CBVentures, it became clear that Celestia is one of the most underappreciated teams in crypto.
Here’s why I’m going all-in:
