I'm happy to share that we've started Grounded Systems (@grndd_systems) - our studio for brave crypto application experiments with @celestia underneath. Go directly to the quote-tweeted thread and discover what is being built, our team, vision, and looming experiments. If you'd like to learn more about my journey to get here, please continue reading. Since before I joined Celestia in 2021, I've seen blockchains as a technology that can change the world for better. I know that sounds extremely cliche but that's how naive I was :) However, the problem back then was clear that technology itself was not ready for mass scale, so I got captivated by solving the infrastructure and getting into promising L1 early. Fast forward to 2025, after years in trenches building Celestia and studying mammoths, I have a firm conviction that low-latency abundant blockspace is the solution and almost the end game. And thence Grounded Systems was born which is my little lab for experimenting with radical product ideas, utilizing all that blockspace with some novel crypto primitives to eventually find a product that would fulfill my inner ambition. Don't get me wrong, tho, I am not leaving the protocol!!! I see the Berlin Wall between core and application developers in other major L1s, and, as a founding coredev I don't want to repeat this part of history for Celestia. I believe coredevs are privileged and somewhat obligated to fill the gap between core and app development, serving as a role model for how to build native apps. Celestia's case is especially problematic, considering the endless options it provides with its full-stack control. That's basically it. Thanks for reading. If you also see blockchains more then they are currently, closely watch @grndd_systems for ideas being cooked.
