Rollups emerged as a solution to scale layer 1s. As it turns out, rollups also need some help with scaling. In particular, rollups can gain higher throughput capacity with access to more data availability. Of course, there is now a broad spectrum of solutions that aim to provide scalable data availability for rollups, like Ethereum, Celestia, EigenLayer, and Avail. Here’s a brief and incomplete look at how they compare across a few metrics. Block times measure the length of time between each block. Of the three projects, both have block times within eight seconds of each other: 12 second blocks for Ethereum, 15 second blocks for Celestia, and 20 second blocks for Avail. The difference between them really isn’t that large or significantly impactful. The real difference between them becomes much more noticeable when looking at how long they take to reach finality. EigenLayer is the only project that is not a blockchain - it is a set of smart contracts that live on Ethereum. Any data that
