Celestia has introduced Voyager, an application-specific blockchain architecture built for large-scale payment flows in agentic commerce. The company said Voyager handled roughly 21 million transactions per second across 100 million accounts during its first full benchmark, which ran continuously for five hours. In that test, the system processed about 400 billion random transfers, with average throughput at 21.2 million TPS and peak throughput at 21.6 million TPS. Celestia said Voyager separates payment processing into independently scalable threads so the execution thread responsible for balance updates does not get blocked. Transactions are first validated and batched at an ingress layer, then passed into a ring buffer modeled on the Disruptor system used in exchange infrastructure. Execution logic is built in, while state is stored in flat tables rather than a Merkle tree. Each transaction is published to Celestia’s data availability protocol, Fibre, allowing external replay and verification of payment execution. The benchmark ran on a single CPU core with about 48 GB of node memory. Celestia added that the test covered only a single node and did not include state root computation, cross-machine replication, or real-time state queries at the same scale. The company said Voyager is now moving toward production, with deeper technical documentation planned in the coming weeks.
Modular blockchain network Celestia has launched Voyager, an application-specific blockchain architecture aimed at large-scale payment use cases in agentic commerce.
Benchmark results from the first full test
According to Celestia, Voyager sustained roughly 21 million transactions per second across 100 million accounts in its first full benchmark, which ran for five hours. The benchmark covered about 400 billion random transfers, with average throughput at 21.2 million TPS and peak throughput at 21.6 million TPS.
How Voyager is structured
Celestia said Voyager splits payment processing into independently scalable threads, preventing the execution thread that updates balances from being blocked. Transactions first pass through an ingress layer for signature verification and batching, then move into a ring buffer modeled on Disruptor, a system used in exchange infrastructure.
The execution logic is built into the system, while state is stored in flat tables instead of a Merkle tree. Each transaction is published to Fibre, Celestia’s data availability protocol, so external parties can replay the data and verify whether payments were executed correctly.
Scope and limits of the test
Celestia said execution ran on a single CPU core, with node memory at about 48 GB. The company also noted that the benchmark was limited to a single node and did not include state root computation, cross-machine replication, or real-time state queries at the same scale.
What comes next
Celestia said it is moving Voyager toward production and plans to release more detailed technical documentation in the coming weeks. Fibre went live on mainnet last week, and Voyager is the first execution-layer product launched since Celestia acquired Sovereign Labs.
