Since we utilize Tendermint and the Cosmos-SDK, syncing the chain can be
performed by any method that is supported by those libraries. This includes
fast-sync, state sync, and quick sync.

### Notable exceptions relative to other blockchains

Relative to other Tendermint based chains, Celestia will have significantly
longer blocktimes of roughly 6\* seconds. The reason behind this block time is to
optimize the bandwidth used by light clients that are sampling the chain, and
is not because we have modified Tendermint consensus in any meaningful way.
Validators will likely download/upload relatively large blocks. It should be
noted that while these blocks are large, very little typical blockchain state
execution is actually occurring on Celestia. Meaning that the bandwidth
requirements will likely be larger than that of a typical Cosmos-SDK based
blockchain full node, the computing requirements should be similar in
magnitude.
