What the native network does

Celestia is a modular blockchain. Unlike traditional blockchains that handle everything in one layer, Celestia focuses on data availability. This allows other networks to use it as a base for storing data without needing to process every transaction themselves.

The project's Vision 2.0 outlines how throughput enables different types of markets. A throughput of 10 KB/s enables simple decentralized exchanges. Between 1 and 10 MB/s, onchain central limit order books and perpetuals exchanges become possible. At 1 Tb/s, the network aims to support traditional financial markets, AI agent economies, and real-time onchain auctions for advertising.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

TIA operates on the Osmosis platform. When transferring TIA, users should verify the contract address. The verified address on Osmosis is ibc/D79E7D83AB399BFFF93433E54FAA480C191248FC556924A2A8351AE2638B3877. There is also a contract address for Injective: ibc/F51BB221BAA275F2EBF654F70B005627D7E713AFFD6D86AFD1E43CAA886149F4.

Users can use the Celestia explorer to check addresses and transactions. Always verify the network before initiating a deposit or transfer.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving TIA to self-custody involves several risks. Deposit and withdrawal support for the listed exchanges is not verified. Users should check the specific exchange settings before attempting a transfer.

Common mistakes include using lookalike contract addresses or the wrong network. Because TIA exists on multiple platforms, sending funds to the wrong chain can result in permanent loss. Additionally, exchange availability and KYC requirements vary by country.
