According to ChainCatcher, Celestia announced on the Social X platform that the Data Availability (DA) network plans to upgrade Shwap for the first time, which has now been activated on the Arabica and Mocha test networks through celestia-node v0.18.2.

It is reported that Shwap increases the DA sampling speed by 12 times and reduces storage requirements by 16.5 times, thereby supporting larger blocks and smaller nodes. After further testing, Shwap is expected to enter the mainnet Beta stage in November.
