The Astria Network project, based on Celestia's shared sequencer, has ceased operations.

Golden Finance reports that the Layer 2 shared sequencer project Astria Network based on Celestia has officially ceased operations. After approximately one year of Mainnet operation, the development team proactively halted the network at Block Height 15,360,577 on Monday, defining it as the end of an “experimental infrastructure project.” Astria was launched in 2023 with the aim of providing decentralized shared sequencer services for Layer 2 networks. It completed a $5.5 million seed round financing led by Maven 11 and received $12.5 million in strategic financing in 2024, led by dba and Placeholder VC. Since the beginning of this year, the project has successively halted the development of its EVM Rollup product Flame and shut down the Celestia validator nodes, ultimately deciding to completely shut down. The team has not disclosed the specific reasons.
