Quick start guide
In this section, we show you how to get started with installing the needed libraries and packages in Celestia to help you run a node on Celestia.
Celestia Node
Installing celestia-node allows you to get started with
running a light node and do Data Availability Sampling.
Light Nodes are the best nodes to test out initially if you are new to participating in Celestia.
celestia-node client also allows you to run other types
of Data-Availability nodes like Bridge and Full Storage
nodes, which will be covered in later sections.
Celestia App
celestia-app is the software that allows you to run
Validator nodes and also provide RPC endpoints.
celestia-app covers the Consensus layer, while celestia-node
covers the Data Availability layer.
Important Info
Hi there.
tiascan.com has some problems, not displaying IDs, that's why some people may not display information in the tiascan. That is not accurate at the moment. And will not represent your actual uptime. Please rely on your logs to determine your node is stable.
