The last bull cycle proved one thing: Modularity isn’t a theory anymore it’s the new design frontier for high-performance blockchains. But the biggest bottleneck? Data Availability. Celestia set the stage. EigenDA took it further. But both are still optimizing within old constraints: → Bounded scalability → Rising costs for large datasets → Rollup-centric assumptions → Limited support for data-heavy apps like AI, DePIN, or gaming And that’s where 0G Labs enters with an entirely different thesis: “If blockchains are to become general-purpose coordination layers for the real world, they need a DA layer built for real-world scale.” That means: — 10GB/sec throughput — <400ms finality — Sub-cent cost per GB — Zero fees for data consumers — zk-proven storage integrity — DA that scales with Moore’s Law, not block limits This isn’t Celestia v2. It’s a clean-slate DA architecture purpose-built for: → AI workloads (think massive model snapshots, updates, inference logs) → DePIN networks (sensor streams, geo-data, real-time telemetry) → Gaming (asset state, replay logs, high-frequency data) → Modular L2s (hundreds of them, at once, without bottlenecks) And it’s not a pipe dream. @0G_labs is already backed by Hack VC, Alliance DAO, dao5, Symbolic Capital, Bankless Ventures, and others—raising $35M+ to build the DA layer of the new internet. Let’s break it down: 🔹 0G’s founding insight Every app and chain has different data demands. Some need instant reads. Others want permanent storage. AI wants gigabyte-scale blobs and continuous streams. So why force them through a rollup-optimized DA layer? 0G says: “Let DA be modular too.” That’s why it’s building: A super-fast DA layer (10GB/s+) A verifiable storage network for long-term persistence An Ethereum light client bridge for fraud-proof publishing And zk-proven guarantees to ensure everything is provable + censorship-resistant It’s a full-stack rethink of what it means to make data available onchain, provable, and composable. 🔹 0G’s modular philosophy The DA stack isn’t monolithic. 0G splits it into three distinct, interoperable layers: Blobstream Layer – handles short-term, high-throughput blob publishing Storage Layer – stores older blobs with zk commitments Bridge Layer – commits proofs to Ethereum to ensure liveness, availability, and finality Each layer is modular. Each layer is optimized. Each layer can evolve independently. It’s Celestia + EigenDA + Filecoin + zkBridge, all composably rolled into one. Why this matters AI, DePIN, and real-world DeFi apps are arriving faster than infra can handle. • Celestia caps out for AI-scale blobs • EigenDA is hyperscale, but rollup-bound • Avail is flexible, but still bound by legacy assumptions @0G_labs breaks the mold: You don’t need to be a rollup to use 0G You don’t need to publish small data to stay cheap You don’t need to sacrifice speed to ensure proof-of-availability Instead, you get: → Raw bandwidth → Lightning-fast finality → Fraud-proofed, zk-verifiable DA → Infinite scale because 0G scales with hardware, not block space This is post 1 of a 10-part deep dive on 0G Labs. What’s next: → 0G’s core architecture: Blobstream, zkStorage, zkBridge → Proof system design + how it ensures trustless DA → Token model + validator incentives → DA vs. storage vs. execution: why 0G bets on vertical separation → Modular infra wars: Celestia, EigenDA, Avail, Near DA vs. 0G If you thought DA was solved You haven’t seen what 0G is building.
