Eden launches, driving TIA token up 16% in 24 hours

TIA: TIA is the native token of the Celestia modular data availability network and serves as the gas token for compatible chains including Eden. It underpins transactions and operations across Celestia-powered ecosystems. The token gained attention following the announcement and launch of Eden due to its role as the primary gas asset on the new chain. Eden: Eden is a high-performance EVM-compatible chain built on the Evolve stack and powered by Celestia for data availability. It functions as an experimental sandbox for agentic commerce, supporting features like atomic batch transactions, sponsored gas, and larger smart contracts. The chain launched with an initial closed-beta experiment involving AI agents issuing tokens and trading based on generated narratives, with payments settled on-chain via the x402 protocol. Modular Design: Eden maintains its own execution and sequencing while posting data to Celestia, allowing focused experimentation on agent-driven transaction patterns and infrastructure needs. Agentic Commerce: Eden serves as Celestia's dedicated testing environment to observe how autonomous AI agents interact on-chain, including payments, trading, and model calls.
