Introduction to Celestia Blob Markets & Rollkit
Bitcoin
Blockchain
DeFi
Celestia represents a fundamental redesign of blockchain architecture through its modular approach. Instead of requiring every blockchain to handle execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability within a single system, Celestia separates these functions into specialized layers. This allows developers to create sovereign and application-specific blockchains that outsource data availability and consensus to Celestia while retaining full control over their execution environments.
About the Course
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Celestia, Blob Markets, and Rollkit. It explains how Celestia redefines blockchain design through modularity, how blobs and Blobstream enable scalable data availability, and how Rollkit allows developers to build sovereign rollups. Each module is structured to combine conceptual foundations with technical mechanics and real-world applications.
What You Will Learn
- How modular blockchain design differs from monolithic systems and why Celestia matters.
- The function of blobs and the economic model of blobspace.
- The role of Blobstream in enabling optimistic and zero-knowledge rollups to inherit Celestia’s data availability.
- How Rollkit provides the technical framework for building sovereign rollups and integrating execution environments.
- Practical use cases within the Celestia ecosystem and experimental integrations beyond it.
- The developer tools available to build modular blockchains and the emerging economics of blob markets.

ETF Leveraged Tokens — Product Guide
This course provides a systematic explanation of the core mechanics behind ETF leveraged tokens — a product designed to deliver multiple times the daily returns of an underlying asset by hedging in the perpetual futures market. These tokens are high-risk, high-volatility instruments, best suited for short-term swing trading or hedging strategies.
When used properly, leveraged tokens can amplify gains or hedge market risk, offering key advantages such as:reduced losses in downtrends, and enhanced profits in uptrends.

Introduction to Modular Rollup‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) Frameworks
Modular rollups transform blockchain scalability by separating execution, settlement, and data availability into distinct layers. This course introduces the concept of Rollup‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS), which allows developers and enterprises to deploy custom rollups without building infrastructure from scratch. With real‑world examples and a focus on 2025‑era frameworks, the course moves from foundational concepts to practical deployment and future trends.

What is Staking
This course provides a detailed exploration of cryptocurrency staking, covering its fundamentals, mechanisms, benefits, and risks. Staking is an essential component of blockchain networks, enabling participants to secure transactions, validate blocks, and earn passive income. With the increasing adoption of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and its variants, understanding staking has become crucial for investors, developers, and blockchain enthusiasts.

Introduction to Programmable Oracle Networks
Blockchains are powerful but limited by their isolation from the outside world. Smart contracts can only process on-chain data, yet most real-world applications, from finance and insurance to gaming and logistics, depend on external information. Programmable oracle networks solve this problem by securely delivering and processing off-chain data for use on-chain. They extend blockchain functionality, enabling decentralized applications to interact with markets, APIs, sensors, and even other blockchains in a trust-minimized way.
