In comparison, the Cosmos blockchain processed 2.4 million transactions in the same time frame.

Airdrop Hope due to Staking 

The demand for TIA is also increasing due to the need to earn huge incentives in the Cosmos and Osmosis Ecosystem. Additionally, TIA staking comes with the expectation that projects integrated with Celestia will issue token airdrops , similar to how Solana's Jito and Marinade DeFi protocols reward users with tokens in December 2023.
Quoted from Beincrypto, Head of Technical Strategy at Fundstrat, Mark L. Newton, provided an in-depth perspective on TIA's technical performance. He observed a rhythmic three-wave rise in TIA price movement, followed by an Elliott Wave style “4-wave consolidation.” 
The pattern suggests a bullish outlook for TIA, with a brief decline expected before stabilization. Newton's analysis underscores TIA's potential as a crypto asset with attractive risk rewards.

Celestia's uniqueness
On the other hand, Celestia stands out by bringing a modular blockchain project with a scalable “data availability” solution, offering a modular network that increases scalability and enhances the developer experience. By separating the application and consensus layers, Celestia enables independent transaction execution on rollups while ensuring transparent data validation.

This approach facilitates the creation of specialized, flexible, and efficient blockchains, thereby fostering a dynamic decentralized ecosystem. Similar to Zero -Knowledge proof Ethereum, Celestia uses lightweight nodes for minimal chain downloads.

Celestia competes well against Arbitrum, which has been operational since May 2021. As adoption of Celestia progresses, its impact on pricing remains uncertain in an ever-evolving ecosystem.
