Key Insights

  • Modular blockchain design is a broad approach that segments a blockchain into distinct, interchangeable components. With these broken-out components, specialized providers arise within each functional area.
  • Modularity facilitates vertical and horizontal execution scaling, broad app design flexibility, and enhanced adaptability for evolving technological demands.
  • Today, prominent modular ecosystems exist within the Ethereum ecosystem as well as the soon-to-launch Celestia.
  • The success of any rollup ecosystem or app will be determined by the competitive advantages that arise from the selected configurations of each modular component.
