Data Availability Layer
A specialized blockchain layer dedicated solely to storing transaction data to ensure it is retrievable for verification.
DePIN Infrastructure generates massive amounts of sensor data. Storing it all on Ethereum would be prohibitively expensive. We use Data Availability Layers (Celestia, EigenDA) to store VRDI attestations cheaply, with hashes anchored on L1 for security. Decades of audit history at commodity prices.
