Head of Product
Celestia designs and builds custom, high-throughput blockchains for ambitious enterprises, separating compute and storage so each can scale independently. It serves businesses such as exchanges and payment platforms that need extremely high transaction throughput and low fees, including agentic payment systems and financial trading venues.
About Celestia Foundation
Celestia is a blockchain infrastructure provider that designs and ships custom, high-throughput chains for enterprises, handing over production-ready chains that clients then own and control, including the infrastructure, roadmap, and economics. Its Fibre technology can support up to 1 Tb/s of data throughput (roughly 625 million transactions per second), enabling use cases like agentic payments for AI agents, and high-throughput, low-latency exchanges for perpetual futures, options, and futures trading with billions of dollars in settled volume. The team, led by figures such as Mustafa Al-Bassam (Chairman & CEO, Celestia Foundation) and Nick White (Co-founder & CEO, Celestia Labs), has built frameworks underpinning over 100 production blockchains, and the organization has raised over $155M from leading blockchain investment firms. Celestia also offers Private Blockspace for confidential onchain financial applications and Fibre Blockspace for high-performance trading venues and payment rails.
