Celestia, with its ticker $TIA, pioneered the modular blockchain thesis, separating consensus from execution and redefining how blockchains scale. Two years after its mainnet launch, how is the modular vision holding up, and can modular blockchains actually become profitable? What is a revival plan for $TIA?

In this first Finality interview, Viet, Head of Developer Relations at Celestia Labs, joins Juri Maibaum to discuss the economics, adoption, and challenges of building sustainable modular infrastructure.

Together, they unpack:

• How Celestia has evolved since its 2023 launch

• The lessons from the airdrop era and early hype

• What it takes to attract real builders and users

• The economics of modular ecosystems and validator incentives

• How Celestia plans to scale, grow, and stay relevant in 2026

If you care about the economics of decentralized infrastructure, from modular rollups to validator profitability, this episode is for you.
