In a significant step toward blockchain scaling, Celestia’s top data availability solution is integrating with the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK), an open-source codebase for starting Ethereum’s zero knowledge Layer 2 chains.
The hurdle to launching high-throughput Layer 2 chains on Ethereum is reduced by the combination of Celestia’s out-of-the-box DA layer with the unified liquidity and zero knowledge-powered interoperability enabled by Polygon CDK.
Developers will have the ability to incorporate Celestia’s DA solution into Polygon CDK’s customization options by early next year.
“This is the broadband moment for Web3,” stated Sandeep Nailwal, a co-founder of Polygon. “The ability to launch a high-throughput ZK-powered Ethereum Layer 2 as easily as deploying a smart contract will do for blockchain adoption what high-speed fiber did for Web2 applications.”
The Ethereum L2 transaction fees that end users pay can already be reduced by more than 100 times with Celestia’s DA layer. A Celestia light node can be run by any user of a Polygon CDK chain, enabling Celestia’s DA layer to grow securely as adoption increases through data availability sampling, or DAS.
With Polygon CDK, developers can easily design and launch ZK L2s on Ethereum; OKX, Astar, Canto, Gnosis Pay, Palm, and IDEX are just a few of the projects that have already made use of it.
