Introducing quazar ✨ v0.3.0-alpha, a Celestia light node macOS app, written in Swift.
A quasar (quasi-stellar object) is a very luminous object in space, powered by an active galactic nucleus (a light node).
v0.3.0-alpha of this app runs on the Arabica devnet (chain ID arabica-10) and has the following functions:
🟣 Initialize your Celestia light node: this initializes a Celestia light node in the application's local storage🟢 Start your node: this starts the light node🔴 Stop your node: this stops the light node🪙 Check your balance: this displays the node's balance in TIA to 6 decimal places📋 Account address: copy to clipboard: this is to make it easy to use the faucet and check your balance🗑️ Delete your data store: deletes the data store for the node (use with caution)🔐 Delete your key store: deletes the key store for the node, the accountmy_celes_key(use with caution)🔥 Delete entire node store: deletes both the data and key store (use with caution)🚰 Faucet: a direct link to an Arabica faucet🔎 Block explorer: a direct link to a block explorer for Arabica
🧪 Sampled chain head: the head of the chain that the light node has sampled🎣 Catchup head: the head of the chain the node has synchronized🌐 Network head height: the head of chain of the network
