BAC-L1-TIA-101Celestia and modular blockchains
The modular thesis
Why separate a blockchain's functions instead of stacking them in one protocol, and the conditions under which that separation holds.

- Modular Blockchain / Celestia Architect
Learning objectives
- 01Name a blockchain's four functions and separate them
- 02Compare monolithic and modular architectures
- 03Identify what modularity relocates rather than removes
Guided lab
Decompose three well-known networks along the four functions and compare the resulting maps.
Independent lab
Map a production rollup's architecture and identify who provides each function.
Security angle
Separating functions multiplies trust boundaries: name them before crossing them.
Assessment
Functional map, assessed on the accuracy of the boundaries identified.
