Nym, a leading routing platform for Web3, has recently partnered with Celestia, a modular blockchain utilizing Data Availability Sampling. This collaboration aims to enhance the scalability and integrity of modular blockchains by integrating “noise obfuscation.” The data availability modules of Celestia will benefit from this integration through Nym Network, as announced by the platform on social media.
The secret is out!
We are excited to announce an R&D collaboration with @celestia that uses Nym’s noise generating mixnet to enhance the efficiency and scalability of the Celestia chain.

Nym Collaborates with Celestia to Enhance Blockchain Scalability
Nym’s partnership with Celestia focuses on utilizing the “noise obfuscation” feature for Celestia’s data availability modules. Celestia allows users to build their own blockchain using its modular structure, offering unparalleled flexibility and scalability.
The platform has also developed a L0 network for secure routing through the “Noise Generating Mixnet” project. Nym’s NGM provides an anonymization layer for secure data retrieval, consensus, and queries, ensuring censorship resistance. Any wallet, application, or blockchain can integrate Nym to secure traffic during transfer.
Celestia aims to enhance blockchain scaling while maintaining chain security. To improve the integrity of its DAS, Celestia has implemented a unique security enhancement to prevent potential selective disclosure exploits. This proactive approach is crucial for efficient scaling on Celestia chains.
In the event of a selective disclosure exploit targeting requesters, Nym’s partnership with Celestia introduces the Unlinkable Data Availability Sampling module. This module, powered by Nym NGM, prevents selective disclosure exploits by unlinking requests from requesters, allowing network participants to sample and verify data sections without compromising chain integrity.
Leveraging U-DAS Module to Prevent Selective Disclosure Exploits Aiming at Requesters
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in enhancing blockchain security and scalability. Nym’s creation of the U-DAS module for Celestia’s network participants reinforces data sampling and verification capabilities while safeguarding against selective disclosure exploits targeting requesters.
