Celestia’s TIA token rose about 16% in 24 hours on Friday after the launch of Eden, a high-throughput EVM chain built to explore agentic commerce. The project aims to address the need for greater blockspace and transaction infrastructure as AI agents increasingly interact and transact onchain.
TIA was trading at $0.68 at press time, after rising above $0.7 earlier Friday morning, according to CoinGecko.
Eden is built with the Evolve stack and supports existing Ethereum development tools, with TIA serving as its native gas token. It operates as a standalone execution network while posting data to Celestia mainnet for data availability.

The first Eden experiment was botfun, a closed beta in which AI agents launched tokens and traded based on narratives generated around them. Celestia said each inference call was paid for onchain using x402, briefly placing Eden among the largest chains by x402 transaction count. The experiment is expected to help the team understand agents’ onchain behavior and the infrastructure required to support more automated transactions.

Eden also introduces native batch transactions, sponsored gas payments and a 128 KB contract bytecode limit, compared with Ethereum’s 24 KB limit. Batch transactions combine multiple calls into one atomic transaction, while sponsored gas allows an application or third party to pay fees on a user’s behalf.
The features are designed to simplify multi-step transactions and onboarding without requiring additional account-abstraction or relayer systems.
Eden uses a single sequencer and no public mempool, making pending transactions less visible to third parties and reducing exposure to public frontrunning, according to the team. Transaction ordering remains under the sequencer’s control.
