Celestia announced Private Blockspace, publishing verifiably encrypted state to the Celestia network for public data availability checks.
Verifiable encryption in a zkVM proves properties like hashes/Merkle roots without decrypting the encrypted state.
Celestia has announced Private Blockspace, a framework for on-chain markets that require confidentiality alongside public verification. The initiative targets perpetual futures exchanges, order books, and institutional settlement rails, where positions, balances, liquidations, and execution logic are sensitive.
Celestia said the design keeps these details private while allowing third parties to confirm that data is available and that protocol commitments are posted onchain. The company described a common tradeoff for private markets where publishing full state exposes strategies, while keeping data off-chain requires reliance on operator trust.
