Celestia Node

Go Reference GitHub release (latest by date including pre-releases) Go CI Go Report Card codecov

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

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
