Modular blockchains like Celestia and EigenDA are challenging traditional monolithic architectures by separating core functions (execution, consensus, data availability) into specialized layers. This approach enables greater scalability by allowing each layer to optimize independently. Rollups can leverage modular chains for affordable data availability, while validators focus solely on consensus. Though still in early stages, modular designs promise to solve the blockchain trilemma (scalability, security, decentralization) more effectively than all-in-one solutions. The success of this model may determine whether blockchains can support mass adoption.
