Astria, a blockchain job explaining itself as the “very first decentralized shared sequencing layer,” has actually introduced the primary network for its alpha release.
The job is amongst those intending to decentralize blockchain “sequencers”– the part of a layer-2 network that puts together deals taking place on the secondary network, in order to tape them on a primary layer-1 blockchain, like Ethereum. Metis, a layer-2 network for Ethereum, has actually established its own decentralized sequencer.

Astria’s sequencing layer might be utilized like a modular plug-in for other networks, as an option to a central sequencer– in some cases seen as a traffic jam, or a single point of failure, or possibly a vector of deal censorship. Practically all layer-2 networks in operation today utilize a central sequencer, consisting of Coinbase’s Base, which supposedly produces countless dollars in earnings for the moms and dad business.
“With today’s mainnet launch, we’ve made a substantial action towards our vision of as soon as again making decentralization the standard in crypto,” Astria stated.
The job, which raised $5.5 million in April 2023 from financiers consisting of 1kx, Delphi Ventures and Figment Capital, was initially developed as an effort to develop a settlement layer for native rollup networks on the data-availability network Celestia, according to a news release.
“Over time, we recognized that settlement wasn’t the only piece missing out on from the modular environment,” according to the release. “Developers required a method to supply quick verifications to their users, without counting on centralized sequencers like rollups in other communities.”
It might deal with both the Ethereum-compatible EVM environment for smart-contract shows, along with Solana’s SVM environment.

Astria states its setup represents a “a single, permissionless network that can be shared by lots of rollups, offering both settlement (ie. bridging) and decentralized sequencing, with quick (~ twos) obstruct times, and single slot finality.”
Astria is an “unapologetically Celestia initially job, and would not exist without the assistance of Celestia Labs, structure and the more comprehensive Celestia community,” according to the release.
The Astria mainnet alpha utilizes Celestia’s token (TIA), and information is published to Celestia. The very first information blog site was supposedly published here.
