❔Modular Questions

Celestials Protocol FAQs

• What is the Celestials Protocol?

  • The Celestials Protocol is a pioneering project built on the Celestia blockchain, enabling the creation and inscription of unique, on-chain NFTs, games and other decentralized applications (dApps).

• How does it work?

  • Celestia's modular design separates data storage and consensus. The Celestials Protocol leverages tiny units of Celestia's native token (uTia) to precisely encode and inscribe data directly onto the chain.

• What are the benefits of using the Celestials Protocol?

  • True On-Chain NFTs

    • No reliance on external storage like IPFS.

  • Flexibility

    • Create a wide range of NFTs, dApps, games and more.

  • Potential Scalability

    • Celestia is architected to handle a higher volume of transactions compared to Bitcoin. Celestia enables faster and more efficient performance for blockchains built on its network.

  • Community Driven

    • Focus on open-source tooling and supporting the ecosystem.

• Why use uTia for inscriptions?

  • uTia, micro Tia, offers the granularity needed for precise data inscription on the Celestia chain, while maintaining efficiency and flexibility.

• How is data integrity ensured on Celestia?

  • Celestia uses Data Availability Sampling (DAS) to ensure data is verified and accessible, even with a large number of light nodes. Additionally, fraud proofs alert the network to any incorrectly encoded data.

• Are there limits to what can be inscribed using the Celestials Protocol?

  • While there is flexibility, practical limits exist based on block size and Celestia's overall limitations. However, the protocol aims to push those boundaries over time.

Celestia Punks FAQs

• What are Celestia Punks?

  • Celestia Punks are the first-ever on-chain NFT collection native to the Celestia blockchain, created using the Celestials Protocol.

• How many Celestia Punks exist?

  • There's a total supply of 10,000 Celestia Punks. 8,000 are reserved for the Genesis Spawn Event, and 2,000 are airdropped to the most vibrant Cosmos communities.

• How do I get a Celestia Punk?

  • During the Genesis Spawn Event, you can spawn Punks on our portal website for 6 TIA each. You'll immediately receive an on-chain receipt as proof of your ownership. Shortly after the Event, all Celestia Punks will be airdropped simultaneously to all eligible users who meet our airdrop criteria. Keep an eye out for airdrop announcements!

• Why the Airdrop Approach?

  • Celestia is designed for a specific purpose, and high on-chain volume isn't one of them. To ensure a smooth launch on Celestia, we're airdropping Punks in batches. This prevents network congestion and guarantees a great spawning experience for everyone. Don't worry, your spawn receipt gives you immediate proof of ownership even before the airdrop!

• What makes Celestia Punks unique?

  • History

    • They're part of blockchain history, as the first Celestia NFTs.

  • Tech

    • They showcase the power of Celestials Protocol and Celestia itself.

  • Utility

    • Future features like bridging and staking are in the works.

  • Community

    • Celestia Punks are about being part of a movement of builders.

• How are Celestia Punks generated?

  • Celestia Punks are composed of pixel art with various traits and rarities. The art assets and generation process are meticulously designed to ensure both uniqueness and on-chain storage efficiency.

• Are Celestia Punks linked to external image files?

  • No! Celestia Punks are 100% on-chain. All pixel art data is encoded and stored directly on the Celestia blockchain.

• What technical challenges did you face creating Celestia Punks?

  • Balancing visual detail with on-chain storage constraints was a key challenge. We optimized pixel art and developed innovative inscription techniques to ensure both quality and sustainable use of the Celestia chain.

General FAQs

• How do I buy TIA?

  • You'll need TIA to spawn Punks. Check major centralized exchanges or DEXs in the Cosmos ecosystem, like Osmosis.

• What is a 'spawn'?

  • Spawning is the process of minting your Celestia Punk during the Genesis Spawn Event.

• What can I do with my Celestia Punk?

  • It's all up to you. Among the options are to hold it as a collectible, trade it, and unlock future utility features as they're released.

• How do I stay updated on the project?

  • Follow us on X, join our Discord & Telegram, and check our website for the latest news. All official links can be found here.

• What wallets support Celestia and Celestia Punks?

  • A growing list of wallets are adding Celestia support. Currently, Keplr is a popular choice. Leap Wallet is another one. We'll provide updates as more wallet integrations for the Celestials Protocol occur.

• Do you plan to collaborate with other projects on Celestia?

  • Absolutely! We're committed to fostering the Celestia ecosystem and actively seek collaborations with like-minded developers, artists, and communities.

• How can I get involved in the Celestials Protocol community?

  • Our Discord & Telegram groups are our hubs of community discussion, feedback, and ideas. We also welcome contributions to our open-source repositories.
