What is a light node?

Light nodes allow anyone to directly verify data availability and interact with Celestia without centralized gateways or RPC providers.

Data availability sampling enables Celestia to securely increase throughput for rollups as new light nodes join the network over time.

Each rollup on Celestia uses a light node to directly publish and retrieve transaction data.

Join the network

Power up a light node in under 3 minutes with Docker.

Start a light node with the command line.
