Celestia Unveils Voyager for AI Payments, Citing 21 Million TPS Benchmark

The headline number is doing the heavy lifting here, and Celestia's own caveat that it reflects a single-node test rather than live throughput is the more telling detail.

The open question is whether Voyager moves beyond pre-production architecture and whether independent validation of the throughput claim follows.
