Nym, a top routing platform for Web3, has announced its latest partnership with Celestia, a modular blockchain using Data Availability Sampling. The partnership targets to advance the scalability and integrity of the modular blockchains with the integration of “noise obfuscation”. This will benefit the data availability modules of Celestia through Nym Network. The platform took to social media to reveal this endeavor.
Nym Collaborates with Celestia to Enhance Blockchain Scalability
Nym mentioned that collaboration with Celestia focuses on utilizing “noise obfuscation” feature for Celestia. In this respect, the data availability modules of Celstia can leverage this functionality through Nym. Celestia reportedly permits anyone to develop their separate blockchain with the use of its exclusive modular structure. It offers a matchless flexibility and scalability.
The platform has also created a L0 network for secure routing via the “Noise Generating Mixnet” project. Nym’s NGM can offer an anonymization layer to enable data retrieval, consensus, and queries. This reportedly ensures that the querying entity stays uncensored. In addition to this, any wallet, application, or blockchain can integrate Nym to secure traffic in transfer.
Celestia mainly endeavors to enhance blockchain scaling while retaining the chain security. For the improvement of its DAS’s integrity, Celestia has reportedly outlined a unique security improvement. This enables it to prevent a likely selective disclosure exploit. This could take place when the verification procedure gets manipulated by a malicious node.
In such a case, the node selectively replies to the given queries while holding back the block data. Though this hazard is at current theoretical, protecting DAS in each situation is required as Celestia chains perform efficient scaling.
Leveraging U-DAS Module to Prevent Selective Disclosure Exploits Aiming at Requesters
According to Nym, its partnership with Celestia reflects a crucial landmark in the venture toward improving the blockchain security and scalability. As included in this development, Nym will create an Unlinkable Data Availability Sampling module. This will unlink the request from the requesting party through the Nym NGM. This will prevent selective disclosure exploits targeting requesters. Hence, with the latest U-DAS module, Celestia’s network participants will get the capability to sample as well as verify the sections of the data. They can do this without lacking chain integrity.
