The Celestia team announced that Blobstream is the latest innovation undertaken for Arbitrum projects. This allows developers freedom of choice to set up their own blockchain networks and oracle chains and leverage Celestia into their architecture for the vital role of availability data.
Orbit Chains are flexible enough to have two functions, either as Layer 2 chains that settle their transactions directly with Ethereum or as Layer 3 chains that provide services to Arbitrum Layer 2 platform, Arbitrum One.
While Blobstream is a revolutionary solution, it is particularly promising for deploying and running L2 and L3 rollups. The Celestia light clients function as data availability sampling (DAS) to ensure that anyone within the network can access information regarding transactions and state modifications. This property is crucial for the integrity and confidentiality of the blockchains.

Arbitrum’s Orbit Chains will profit a lot because of Blobstream’s deployment. This will allow them to contribute information through their current networks and Celestia. This is excellent news for developers whose traditional needs may be deemed too expensive or too complex.
Blobstream makes the integration process more accessible for the developers in the “Arbitrum” community, excluding the necessity to form data availability depositing committees. Before, engineers had to develop committees, collect and preserve the data, and provide it on time, which could slow down or complicate many projects.
Celestia’s observation emphasized that rigors limit some developers’ functions to launch chains, which was difficult before. Blobstream is the refinement concerning the only process of blockchain construction inside the Ethereum environment, meaning that innovation will occur without the slightest trouble.
The creation of Blobstream was a collaborative effort by Celestia and Succinct Labs, which held a partnership in which all the strengths of each entity were considered. This technology relies on the zero-knowledge light client of Succinct Labs to send over the attestation of Celestia’s data root directly to the Orbit contracts, which maximizes the security and the throughput of these transactions.

Shortly after this announcement, Blobstream was integrated into the Base ecosystem, showing quick growth in its applicability on different blockchain networks. Celestia and Succinct Labs’s Blobstream collaboration lowers the entrance barriers for blockchain development, offering developers a more efficient, flexible, and accessible framework to innovate further in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
