Celestia (TIA)
What is Celestia?
Celestia is the first modular blockchain network. It serves as a modular data availability layer that enables anyone to quickly deploy a blockchain without the need for a validator set.
Celestia employs Proof-of-Stake for its consensus security. TIA, Celestia's native asset, plays a crucial role in enabling delegators to support consensus security.

FAQ
What is TIA?
Celestia's native token, TIA, has multiple functions:
Blobspace Payment: Rollups use TIA to publish data to Celestia's blobspace.
Gas Token for Rollups: Developers can choose to employ TIA as a gas token for their rollups.
Network Security: Users can stake TIA to participate in the consensus process, enhancing the security of the Celestia blockchain.
Celestia Tokenomics
Total supply at genesis: 1,000,000,000 TIA. TIA inflation starts at 8% annually. Initially, it was set to decrease by 10% every year until reaching a long-term issuance rate of 1.5%. However, with the v4 Lotus upgrade in July 2025, the inflation rate dropped from ~7.2% to ~5.0% at the time of the upgrade and will continue to decrease by 6.7% every year until it stabilizes at 1.5%.
How Everstake deduces validator fee?
“Validator fee” refers to the rewards received by Validator for participating in the Blockchain network Validation process. Everstake determines the validator fee through a process involving analysis and consideration of various factors, such as network requirements, operational costs, and market dynamics.
Control over User's Funds
Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.
Rewards Distribution
Rewards on Celestia are distributed every block (~5.1 sec).
Staking rewards are not automatically compounded to the stake, but compounding can be enabled using the restake rewards feature in the REStake application accessible via the Keplr wallet.
Staking rewards on Celestia are funded through inflation, where new TIA tokens are issued per block. TIA inflation starts at 8% annually. Initially, it was set to decrease by 10% every year until reaching a long-term issuance rate of 1.5%. However, with the v4 Lotus upgrade in July 2025, the inflation rate dropped from ~7.2% to ~5.0% at the time of the upgrade and will continue to decrease by 6.7% every year until it stabilizes at 1.5%.
The yield a delegator receives depends on the current inflation rate, the total amount of TIA staked, and validator commission. Validator commission is a percentage fee deducted from staking rewards.
