Description

Overview:

Zero Gravity is building Data Availability 2.0 — 1000x faster and cheaper on-chain data (vs danksharding) that is programmable, optimized for AI, and more.

While Celestia allows storage speeds of 1.4MB/s, Eigen Layer 10MB/s, ZeroGravity allows up to 5000MB/s (and for example, Solana has 125MB/s). This opens up a lot of new possibilities for using DA, which may not even be obvious today.

Thanks to their solution, the storage price is also significantly reduced. For ETH, 1kb costs about $60, for L2 $6, for Sol $0.008, and for Zero Gravity $0.0005, which is 12x cheaper.

Both of these features make this DA ideal for AI, high-frequency DeFi, on-chain games, and other memory-intensive applications.
