Celestia Node

Golang implementation of Celestia's data availability node types (light | full | bridge).

The celestia-node types described above comprise the celestia data availability (DA) network.

The DA network wraps the celestia-core consensus network by listening for blocks from the consensus network and making them digestible for data availability sampling (DAS).

Continue reading here if you want to learn more about DAS and how it enables secure and scalable access to Celestia chain data.

API docs

The celestia-node public API is documented here.

Node types

Bridge nodes - relay blocks from the celestia consensus network to the celestia data availability (DA) network
Full nodes - fully reconstruct and store blocks by sampling the DA network for shares
Light nodes - verify the availability of block data by sampling the DA network for shares

More information can be found here.

Run a node

<node_type> can be: bridge, full or light.

celestia <node_type> init

celestia <node_type> start

Please refer to this guide for more information on running a node.

Environment variables
