The project behind the data availability blockchain Celestia rolled out on Monday what it calls its biggest software upgrade yet, dubbed Matcha.
At its core, this update is designed to boost the network’s capacity and improve token economics. Among the technical changes, it increases the maximum block size to 128 MB (up from 8 MB) and changes how data propagation works, enabling much higher throughput.

Simply put, Celestia is preparing itself to handle much more data, which is important if many applications start using it as their underlying “routing” or “data-availability” layer.
Beyond throughput, Matcha upgrade also claims to make significant economic and interoperability improvements. The upgrade cuts annual token inflation from ~5% down to ~2.5%. It also removes a “token filter” for cross-chain bridges, meaning non-TIA assets can more easily be moved through or routed by the Celestia layer. This is meant to signal that Celestia wants to become a go-to layer for cross-chain data availability and asset routing.
The project’s native token, TIA, is roughly up about 6% over the last 24 hours, trading around $0.65. However, the token is still down 97% from its peak of around $19.70 in December 2024.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?
The post Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has been the face of meme coins for a long time. From Elon Musk tweets to a robust community, DOGE has managed to stay alive. But in 2025, things appear slightly different. Will Shiba Inu keep pursuing Dogecoin, or will new contender Little Pepe pass them both by? Dogecoin (DOGE): Still the Benchmark Dogecoin is trading just above $0.2452, up 10.63% over the past week. That steady climb shows why DOGE still matters: it has the liquidity, the listings, and the recognition that few meme tokens can match. Analysts see its price grinding higher into year-end, supported by altcoin momentum and ETF launches in the U.S. But here’s the thing: DOGE is no longer a scrappy underdog. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, turning $100 into $10,000 here is nearly impossible. It’s the Bitcoin of meme coins: reliable, liquid, and still iconic, but its days of 1,000× gains are behind it. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Big Name, Slowing Engine Shiba Inu sits at $0.00001349 with a market cap of $7.6 billion. It’s clawed back momentum with a 3.98% monthly surge, and analysts project a further 9.26% weekly gain to $0.00001418. Token burns and the expansion of Shibarium, its Layer-2 solution, keep the ecosystem alive. That said, SHIB’s size is also its weakness. Even with whales accumulating another 62 billion tokens, growth projections hover in the 400%–500% range, which is impressive but pales in comparison to what early buyers saw in 2021. SHIB is in the odd position of being too big to vanish, but too large to repeat its breakout magic. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The New Challenger SHIB grew on pure hype, but LILPEPE comes with real infrastructure. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network designed for meme tokens, with near-zero fees, sniper-bot resistance, and…
