Analyzing why Celestia’s 21M TPS claim comes with THREE big catches after TIA’s 8% drop
The tech is turning heads, but the token isn’t taking its lead.
Celestia [TIA] has had a packed month so far. Their latest breakdown of how Voyager works also has people talking.
This discussion misses the most important question though — Is TIA’s price keeping up?
Celestia’s Voyager hit 21M TPS on one CPU core, and that’s why everyone’s talking
In the month gone by, Celestia launched Eden, an EVM chain for testing how AI agents trade.
Fibre went live on mainnet on 20th October, adding a lane for data uploads of around 128MB, up from 8MB. On the 29th, they launched Voyager, a payments layer for AI agents.
TIA perps also got listed on Decibel on 4th November. Of all these, Voyager’s been the people’s pick so far.
In a recent blog, Blazej Kolad, Staff Protocol Engineer at Celestia, explained how it hit over 21 million TPS across 100 million accounts.
What’s surprising is that it doesn’t split the work across lots of cores. Main execution runs on a single thread.
They’re arguing that memory is the real bottleneck, and one core with the right data close by can do much and more.
There are catches, though. Voyager isn’t on mainnet yet. The benchmark skipped signature checks, and crash recovery still isn’t ready.
TIA’s not sharing in the excitement yet
At the time of writing, TIA was trading at $0.40. For context, that’s an 8.7% dip over just 24 hours.
We’re a long way from mid-October. Around the time Eden launched, TIA climbed so high, it traded close to $0.76. Since then, however, it’s been dipping steadily. Now, it’s at half of that peak.
The big unlock of 31st October (which added about 5.58 million TIA to the market) didn’t help either. For most of November, TIA had been trading between $0.41 and $0.45 so far. Today though, it pierced through the bottom of that range.
The RSI was at 38.2, having briefly crossed above it on the 12th. However, that didn’t last.
Simply put, the tech’s getting all the praise. However, the token’s not reflecting any of it. Not yet.
Final Summary
- Celestia’s Voyager hit 21M TPS in benchmarks using a single CPU core!
- TIA fell by 8.7% to $0.40, about half its mid-October peak.
