Celestia Naming Service ☄️

Celestia Naming Service is a name service like ENS built with celestia's Data Availbility Sampling aka DAS layer using the Node API. Instead of having a long and inconvenient address, you can use CNS to register a human readable name for your wallet address.

Run Locally

We'll need to setup an Arabica celestia light node before we can make calls to DAS.

The easiest way is to get a docker container running using this dockerfile 🐳

FROM alpine:latest
FROM golang:1.19.1-alpine

EXPOSE 26659
EXPOSE 26658
 
COPY --from=golang:1.19.1-alpine /usr/local/go/ /usr/local/go/
 
ENV PATH="/usr/local/go/bin:${PATH}"

RUN apk update
RUN apk add curl tar wget clang pkgconfig libressl-dev jq alpine-sdk bash 
RUN rm -rf celestia-node && git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-node.git && cd celestia-node && git checkout tags/v0.5.0-rc5 && make install && make cel-key && celestia light init

Lastly, setup and fund the wallet on the node using this guide 📚

et volia! Now you can run the commands in the Python notebook.

Roadmap

• Post address and name data to a namespace
• Naive verification of data in a namespace
• Update state after txns to allow transfers and sells of names
• Actual verification of legitimate transactions
• Frontend site with keplr integration to buy a domain name
