Celestia Achieves 100 GiB Daily Load Proving Modular Scalability

The outcome demonstrates that Celestia can handle continuous, industrial-scale demand rather than brief bursts of activity. Hence, this is a critical requirement for rollups planning permanent production deployments.

Matcha Upgrade For Bandwidth Performance

Matcha Upgrade is a key reason for this benchmark. It went live on Celestia mainnet in late November 2025. Matcha dramatically expanded the network’s throughput ceiling by increasing maximum block size from 8 MB to 128 MB and introducing more efficient peer-to-peer data propagation mechanisms.

These improvements optimized how blob data is streamed, prioritized, and verified across the network. Faster block times, better mempool coordination, and parallelized data handling ensured that blob transactions were included reliably even during peak load.

As a result, Celestia now operates as a high-bandwidth DA layer capable of supporting multiple large rollups simultaneously. This architecture allows execution environments to scale independently, while Celestia focuses purely on making data available, verifiable, and decentralized.

Rollups and Modular Apps

Celestia daily load achieved a 99.97 percent blob inclusion success rate across the full seven-day testing period.This means nearly every submitted data blob was successfully posted and made available for sampling by light nodes.

For rollups, this metric is mission-critical. Missing or delayed data availability can halt sequencers, break fraud proofs, or disrupt user experience. The test demonstrated that even under extreme conditions, Celestia’s post-Matcha optimizations prevented congestion and ensured consistent inclusion.

The network’s ability to maintain reliability under sustained pressure reinforces confidence among developers building systems that depend on uninterrupted data guarantees.

Next Wave of Onchain Growth

Celestia contributors described the testing team as one that deliberately “pushed the boundaries of performance,” and confirmed that the application plans to deploy publicly in 2026. We can expect projects with similar throughput requirement to follow this lead

This successful load test serves as real-world validation of Celestia’s modular roadmap, which targets even larger block sizes and future gigabyte-per-second throughput. This could also have a positive impact on the $TIA price action

With Matcha already live and further upgrades in development, Celestia is increasingly positioning itself as core infrastructure for high-throughput Web3 ecosystems, from DeFi rollups to gaming and data-heavy decentralized applications.
