Forma to Halt Mainnet Around Nov. 5 and Begin Asset Migration

Forma said on its official X account that its mainnet will stop operating at block height 34,567,890, with the shutdown expected around Nov. 5. Users have about two weeks to withdraw funds from the chain before operations cease. After the halt, the team will take a snapshot of the chain state and migrate the remaining TIA to Eden. Because both networks are EVM chains, users will be able to use the same wallet address and withdraw funds from Eden once the migration is complete. Forma also said Modularium will move to Ethereum, with related NFTs migrating as well. Holders will need to claim them manually through the relaunched Modularium website, and the NFTs will not be airdropped automatically. The team added that the migration may take several days after the shutdown, with separate announcements to follow once each step is completed. More details and user instructions are expected in the coming weeks.

Forma says mainnet will shut down around Nov. 5, with remaining TIA moving to Eden

Forma said its mainnet, which is built on Astria and Celestia, will shut down at block height 34,567,890, with the closure expected around Nov. 5. Users have roughly two weeks to withdraw funds before the chain stops. After the shutdown, the team plans to take a snapshot and migrate the remaining TIA to Eden. Forma said both chains are EVM-compatible, so users can use the same wallet address during the move. The project also said Modularium will migrate to Ethereum. NFTs will not be airdropped automatically and must be claimed manually through a relaunched website. A separate announcement will be issued once the migration is complete.

Chris Burniske says current market looks more like an early bull phase, urges long-term token accumulation

Placeholder co-founder Chris Burniske said long-term investors should stop obsessing over perfect entries and exits and instead build token positions through a planned accumulation strategy. In his view, long-term investing should not be confused with short-term trading. Burniske suggested using a previously successful holding as a benchmark and then sizing target positions by comparing token supply across networks. He gave examples using ETH, SOL and TIA: with Ethereum’s total supply at about 120 million, a past holding of 10 ETH would translate to roughly 53 SOL based on Solana’s supply of about 636 million, or about 97 TIA based on Celestia’s supply of about 1.16 billion. To reach a TIA network share 10 times larger than the original ETH share, an investor would need about 970 TIA. For ZEC, he said investors could use their ideal BTC holding as a reference because ZEC’s supply is similar to Bitcoin’s. On market conditions, Burniske said many crypto assets are down more than 20% to 40% from their highs, while BTC is down less than 10%. He said that setup looks more like an opportunity in an early bull market than a warning sign of a bull trap, while still advising investors to keep cash on hand and deploy it in tranches if prices fall further.

Celestia launches Eden to test AI agent payments as TIA trades about 97% below its peak

Celestia has rolled out Eden, a high-performance EVM chain designed as a sandbox for AI agent commerce, putting TIA at the center of its latest attempt to build real onchain demand. Announced on Oct. 16, Eden handles execution and ordering itself while using the Celestia mainnet for data availability, with TIA serving as the native gas token through an official bridge. According to the project’s documentation, the chain runs with 100-millisecond block times, a 50 million block gas limit, native batch transactions and gas sponsorship, features aimed at high-frequency machine-driven activity. The first public experiment is a closed test with Botfun, where agents can issue tokens, trade around narratives created by other agents, and settle every model inference call onchain through x402, the HTTP 402-based machine-native micropayment protocol incubated by Coinbase. Celestia says Eden has recorded 2.59 million transactions since entering stealth testing in July, including a weekly peak of 516,000, though it has not separately verified how many of those were x402 settlements. The launch comes as Celestia tries to reposition itself after a steep decline in TIA and weak fee capture on its main network. DefiLlama data cited in the report shows just $108 in chain fee revenue over the past 24 hours, while TIA was trading around $0.63, roughly 97% below its all-time high near $21. Against that backdrop, Eden is being framed as a direct bet on AI agent payments and a new use case for TIA.

Two Hyperliquid Whales Split on TIA as 5x Long Shows 272% Return

TIA perpetuals on Hyperliquid were quoted at $0.75 on Oct. 17, up about 18% from the previous day, and the move produced a sharp divergence between two large traders holding opposite positions. One whale address, 0xe097…d0fe, was holding a long position of about 1.1195 million TIA with 5x cross leverage. The position was valued at roughly $820,000 and showed an unrealized profit of about $289,000, with a position return of around 272%. The trader had not closed the position at the time of the report. On the other side, whale address 0x07fd…689d was holding a short position of about 1.4295 million TIA, also using 5x cross leverage. That position was valued at about $1.07 million and was showing an unrealized loss of roughly $342,000, with a return of about -236%. The same address had added to the short by about 23,400 TIA near $0.65 yesterday and also remained in the trade, according to BlockBeats.

Celestia’s TIA gains 23% in 24 hours as its four-week rally continues

Celestia’s token TIA rose 23% over the past day, extending a rally that has now lasted four weeks, according to TheDefiant. The move came as on-chain activity showed mixed signals. Daily transaction fees climbed to $158, pointing to higher fee generation on the network, while the amount of data posted to Celestia fell on the latest fully completed day mentioned in the report. TheDefiant’s summary did not provide more detailed figures beyond those two datapoints, and no additional market context or drivers were included in the source text. The outlet also noted that its articles are stored on Filecoin. The report was published on Oct. 17, 2026.

Celestia launches Eden to test autonomous AI agent trading and payments on a high-performance EVM chain

Celestia has introduced Eden, a high-performance EVM chain built on Celestia and designed as an experimental sandbox for what it calls "Agentic Commerce." The project is meant to test how AI agents behave when they make onchain payments, place trades, and call models autonomously, while also showing what kind of infrastructure those systems need. According to Celestia, the rise of more frequent onchain activity by AI agents is likely to increase demand for blockspace, real-time settlement, and low-friction payment rails. Eden is being used to observe what type of transaction environment agents need, how they manage funds, and how their onchain behavior could shape future network design. The first experiment on Eden is Botfun, which is currently in closed testing. Celestia said agents in that environment can issue their own tokens and trade around narratives generated by other agents. Each model inference call is paid for onchain through x402. Celestia also said the experiment briefly made Eden one of the largest x402 networks by transaction count. Technically, Eden is EVM-compatible, uses TIA as its native gas token, and supports atomic batched transactions, app-sponsored gas, and larger smart contract deployments.

Celestia’s TIA gains 59% over four weeks as daily blob volume declines

Techub News, citing The Defiant, reported that Celestia’s token TIA rose 59% over the past four weeks. The move came even as the network’s daily blob data volume fell during the same period, highlighting a gap between token performance and one usage-related metric. The report also said Celestia’s new Fibre throughput benchmark remains separate from mainnet usage. That means the benchmark should not be read as a direct reflection of activity on the live network. The update focused on three points: TIA’s four-week gain, declining daily blob data volume during that stretch, and the fact that Fibre’s throughput figures are still distinct from mainnet conditions.
