The DA topic has been very lively in the past two days. Celestia and NEAR Protocol are both going to be third-party DAs. The cooperation between NEAR and Polygon even claims that it is 8000 cheaper than Ethereum. Double the slogan!
8000x cheaper than Ethereum!

There is also EigenDA made by Eigenlayer within the Ethereum ecosystem, which is eyeing it.
Why is everyone so keen on doing the “DA layer”?
At this time, it is necessary to go back to the source and clarify the concept first. In fact, the execution layer, settlement layer, consensus layer, and DA layer all belong to the theoretical system of modular blockchain proposed by Celestia.
The execution layer is mainly responsible for processing transactions and executing smart contracts. The execution results are submitted to the settlement layer in the form of batch certificates, which only contain necessary information and do not include detailed data of the executed transactions. This effectively reduces the need for on-chain storage and computing and greatly reduces costs. PS: Rollups projects basically belong to the decoupling of the execution layer
the settlement layer provides the overall situation The consensus and security model, including verifying the correctness of execution results, determines the final ownership of assets; and also includes recording and executing updates to the state of the chain itself: for example, token transfers or contract deployments. PS: I very much agree with Blue Fox Notes’ point of view. At present, only ETH and BTC have the opportunity to serve as settlement layers.
The consensus layer is responsible for ensuring the current status of the blockchain for all participating nodes. reached an agreement. Manage and execute consensus rules to ensure that newly added transactions are correctly recorded and the "transaction sequence" can be agreed upon in the distributed ledger of all nodes.
Responsible for ensuring data availability in the network. This enables transaction verification and execution to occur at different levels, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system.
First of all, there are many execution layers, the settlement layer is useless, and the consensus layer will only be done after the DA layer is completed. Then, the DA layer is important, every layer depends on the DA layer. Finally, by replacing Ethereum as the DA layer, any high-speed public chain will have cost-effective advantages.
To put it simply, there is no confidence in making a settlement layer chain. The DA layer is a new round of small narratives, which are relatively reliable from a technical point of view.
XPLA, the Web3 gaming ecosystem in which Com2uS Group participates, has officially launched its own Layer 2 blockchain. XPLA Verse acts as L2 on the Oasys gaming-specific blockchain.
JinseFinanceThis research report will start from the data availability layer (DA) and use modular interpretation as an entry point to deconstruct the four major solutions recognized by the DA track market.
JinseFinanceObviously, we are still in the first half of the bull market, and the stories of the mid- and second-half of the bull market are still in the making.
JinseFinanceIn the world of Bitcoin Layer 2 competition, the off-chain function expansion layer will become increasingly important, and the emergence of B^Hub and BTCKB may have just unveiled the tip of the iceberg of these function expansion layers.
JinseFinanceIn the future, Celestia will be able to enjoy the incremental market gains brought by the dual trend of modularization + application chain, while EigenDA will gain more access to the Ethereum-based stock market that has higher security requirements.
JinseFinanceBy fundamentally improving the way we build and use blockchains, the DA layer will undoubtedly become one of the core technologies of this cycle and beyond.

JinseFinanceDespite the controversy over the definition of Layer 2, the Ethereum upgrade is still focused on Rollup, of which DA is the key.
