Celestia Core will power the Celestia main chain by leveraging Tendermint.
Celestia itself is a scale-out data availability-focused minimal blockchain. It allows users to post arbitrary data on the chain, as well as define their own execution layers. This data is ordered on-chain but not executed. This allows for the first scalable data layer for decentralised applications, including optimistic rollup sidechains. Additionally, this design allows developers to define their own execution environments.
