TRESTLE

Trestle is a protocol that connects Celestia's modular blockchain network with Ethereum-based decentralized protocols and users. It offers products like Wrapped TIA (wTIA) for on-chain TIA purchases on Ethereum and a dual-sided bridge for seamless Celestia-Ethereum swaps. It also features a reward system to support Celestia's decentralization by validating activities. Trestle aims to expand the Celestia ecosystem with a dedicated roll-up layer and a Launchpad for new projects.

Wrapped TIA (wTIA) benefits Ethereum users by allowing them to purchase TIA tokens natively on the Ethereum blockchain. This seamless integration simplifies the trading process, leveraging the extensive Ethereum user base and ecosystem to provide easier access to Celestia’s native token. By using wTIA, users can engage in decentralized finance activities within the Ethereum network without complex cross-chain transactions.

Trestle’s dual-sided bridge is unique because it offers a seamless and secure way for users to swap assets between the Celestia and Ethereum blockchains. This feature enhances interoperability between the two networks while maintaining security, enabling projects and users to leverage the strengths of both chains. Its functionality supports the fluid movement of assets and the integration of decentralized protocols, broadening the applicability across blockchain ecosystems.

Trestle promotes Celestia’s decentralization by becoming one of its prominent validators, earning TIA rewards, which are then distributed to wTIA holders. This mechanism incentivizes validating activities, enhancing the network’s security and governance. By supporting a decentralized validator network, Trestle contributes to Celestia's robustness and autonomy while rewarding participants who engage in maintaining the chain's integrity.

The Trestle Chain and Launchpad play a pivotal role in expanding the Celestia ecosystem by developing a dedicated roll-up layer. This infrastructure supports the onboarding of new and existing projects and teams onto Celestia, fostering innovation and growth. These enhancements provide scalable solutions tailored to developers’ needs, facilitating wider adoption and integration within the Celestia network through increased project diversity and collaboration opportunities.

Trestle addresses key challenges in the blockchain industry, such as interoperability, decentralization, and ecosystem expansion. By linking Celestia with Ethereum-based protocols, it ensures seamless interaction across blockchains. Its dual-sided bridge and wTIA token ease cross-chain trading complexities. Furthermore, through validator incentives and the Launchpad, it bolsters network security, decentralization, and encourages project development, thereby enhancing both the Ethereum and Celestia ecosystems.
