About Celestia
TIA, the native asset of Celestia, fulfils several critical roles within the network:
- Paying for Blobspace: Developers use TIA to pay for data availability services on the Celestia network. This is done through 'PayForBlobs' transactions, where the fees are denominated in TIA.
- Bootstrapping New Rollups: Celestia allows developers to launch their own blockchain with ease, similar to deploying a smart contract. In this context, TIA can be used as a gas token and currency for these newly deployed blockchains, especially in their initial stages. This alleviates the need for developers to issue a new token immediately.
- Proof-of-Stake: Celestia uses a proof-of-stake mechanism, which is built with the Cosmos SDK. This allows users to participate in securing the network by delegating their TIA to validators in exchange for a portion of the staking rewards.
- Decentralised Governance: Holders of TIA also play a crucial role in the decentralised governance of Celestia. They can vote on network parameters and governance proposals and have a say in the governance of the community pool, which receives a portion of the block rewards.

Celestia Staking Returns Just Hit 14% While Validators Consolidate
Celestia (TIA) is a modular blockchain providing a data availability layer for rollups, secured by a Cosmos SDK proof-of-stake network that launched its mainnet in October 2023 with a maximum active validator set of 100. TIA trades around $0.455 with a market capitalization near $289 million, while staking yields reached 14.67% annualized in May 2026. Roughly 23 validators now hold approximately 50% of all delegated TIA, a concentration trend that has pushed effective yields higher as commission competition intensifies. Celestia uses a 21-day unbonding period, and liquid staking derivatives entered testnet in Q1 2026. The validator consolidation that drives the elevated yield also raises centralization risk for the network's economic security.

Giggle Fund (GIGGLE) is a community-created BEP-20 token on BNB Chain that applies a 5% transaction fee (2.5% buy, 2.5% sell) automatically swapped to BNB and donated to Giggle Academy, a free education nonprofit founded by Changpeng Zhao. GIGGLE trades around $34.54 with a $34M market cap, fixed 1 million max supply (fully circulating), and is ranked outside the top 500 on CoinGecko. GIGGLE is down 87.6% from its $274 ATH and up 293.8% from its $8.64 ATL. The token was never launched by Giggle Academy or CZ; he has publicly distanced himself from it on X. Despite that, over 11,500 BNB (roughly $11.5M) has been donated to Giggle Academy via the auto-fee mechanism. GoPlus has flagged that the contract creator can disable sells, change fees, and mint additional tokens. Binance allocates 50% of GIGGLE trading fees to Giggle Academy. OKX listed USDT-margined perpetual futures with 50x leverage in October 2025.
Mia HallandMay 4, 2026Why QANX Could Outperform Even If Quantum Computers Never Materialize
The thesis floating around QANplatform has been that it is a quantum-resistance play. Whether that plays out depends on the market accurately timing quantum computers. At $0.01238 per QANX with a $21M market cap, down 93.9% from ATH, the market is extremely bearish on the quantum computing thesis. Take that narrative aside and the platform has something few Layer 1s can claim.
