Celestia is a modular data availability blockchain that decouples data availability from consensus and execution, allowing other blockchains to use it as a scalable data availability layer. It uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and data availability sampling (DAS). TIA is the native token used for paying for data availability, staking, and governance.

What is the supply schedule for Celestia(TIA)?
Celestia’s 1 billion TIA supply at genesis will be subject to several different unlock schedules. All tokens, locked or unlocked, may be staked, but staking rewards are unlocked upon receipt and will add to the circulating supply.
Circulating supply is defined as the amount of TIA tokens in general circulation without onchain transfer restrictions.
Available supply is defined as the amount of TIA tokens that are either part of the circulating supply or are unlocked but subject to some form of governance to determine when the tokens are allocated. This includes the unlocked portion of the R&D & Ecosystem tokens and the tokens set aside for future initiatives.
