Pal sees Sui’s potential but notes its early development stage. He points to the recent technological advancements like the Mysticeti upgrade, which offers the fastest finality across blockchains, and the upcoming Pilotfish which aims for high transaction scalability.

According to the former Goldman Sachs manager, Sui is a project designed to revamp the internet for Web3, aiming for massive scalability to support billions of users.

He remains cautiously optimistic and acknowledges his dual role as a board member and an investor keen on Sui’s future prospects.

Celestia Finally Ready to Reverse Downtrend?

TIA, which was one of the outperformers in early 2024, had made an all-time high of US$20.91 (AU$30.92) in February of 2024 but has since been on a steady decline. At the time of writing the token of the modular blockchain is trading for US$5.16 (AU$7.63), a 74% decline since early 2024.

With its launch, Celestia’s developers have introduced modular blockchain technology to the crypto sector which allows for the easy deployment of custom blockchains with minimal overhead.

The modular approach of Celestia enhances scalability and security, allowing for greater experimentation and sovereignty in blockchain development, which differs significantly from the limitations of traditional, monolithic blockchains.
