Celestia has seen a significant and sustained increase in BLOB sizes over the past two weeks. Between June 20 and December 20, 2024, the average BLOB size on Celestia was approximately 1.18 GB. However, over the past two weeks, this has increased nearly tenfold, to an average of 11.4 GB.
Similarly, daily transactions on Celestia have also increased significantly over this period. Between June 20 and December 20, Celestia averaged around 44,000 transactions per day. Over the past two weeks, this number has grown by over 60%, with a daily average of 71,000 transactions.
The nearly tenfold increase in BLOB sizes is likely due to the issuance of NFTs during this period, as well as the increase in projects choosing Celestia as their data availability layer. Almost all of the BLOBs listed on Celestia in the last two weeks have been linked to Eclipse, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain that uses the Solana virtual machine and Celestia as its data availability layer.
