Editor’s note:

Under the SOL-ES-TIA narrative, TIA’s market value increases accordingly. Encryption researcher ARNDXT sorted out 6 potential projects based on Celestia, including game chain Ancient, rollup bridge Hyperlane, ZK solution Skip, rollup protocol Cartesi, infrastructure Union and re-pledge mechanism Alt Layer, and elaborated on the optimistic factors respectively. BlockBeats compiles the original text as follows:

We’re in SOL-ES-TIA season.

TIA will reach the level of SOL in terms of market capitalization, which will increase 14 times to $255.

The TIA (3,3) staking mechanism will set a new paradigm, and what is built on this foundation will be the focus of what I will talk about. Here are 6 projects built on TIA.

Ancient

Ancient is a gaming chain that utilizes Optimistic rollups with Ethereum security.

They are built on Celestia, allowing for scalability, reduced transaction costs, and near-instant confirmations. Ancient offers unparalleled scalability.

catalyst:

• I predict that in 2024 Web3 games will combine guilds, community ownership, and sustainable token economic models.
• Community and investors are the key to the game. They started with the game guild, saw the user base grow rapidly, and then established their own game chain.

HyperLane

Hyperlane is the first Celestia rollup bridge.

Anyone can deploy hyperlane to any blockchain environment, including L1, rollup, and application chains.

catalyst:

• Hyperlane documentation is simple
• Celestia can easily start rollup. *Hyperlane can easily connect all these rollups.

Under Celestia, between Hyperlane, modular extensions.

Skip

Skip is ZK in Celestia Baselayer and provides SDK for interoperability

catalyst:

It’s an odd comparison because the two solve problems differently, but there are some similarities.

• Eigenlayer solves this problem by providing composable liquidity for liquidity staking.
• Skip provides SDK for interoperability.

Descartes

Cartesi is an application-specific rollup protocol with a Linux runtime built on Celestia.

They have multiple uses in data model training and on-chain gaming infrastructure.

catalyst:

• The huge savings in gas costs opens up the possibility for open source games to bring unique libraries like Werewolf into the Cartesi VM.
• The backend is coded in #Python, so you don’t have to be a #Solidity developer to create dApps

Union

Union is an ultra-efficient zero-knowledge infrastructure layer for general messaging, asset transfers, NFTs, and DeFi.

catalyst:

• Raised 4 million in seed round
• Launched in January 2024
• Running on ZK, interoperability statement

Alt Layer

Alt Layer takes existing rollups (derived from any rollup stack, such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, ZKStack, Polygon CDK, etc.) and provides them with EigenLayer’s re-staking mechanism to bootstrap network security and build a decentralized network .

A repackaged rollup is essentially a set of three vertically integrated AVSs.

catalyst:

• Formulate the narrative of re-staking + rollup
• rollup as a service
