About Light Node

Light nodes allow anyone to directly verify data availability and interact with Celestia without centralized gateways or RPC providers. They perform data availability sampling (DAS) on the received headers, ensuring data availability. This is the most common way to interact with Celestia networks and enables Celestia to securely increase throughput for rollups as new light nodes join the network over time.

To use this script, run the following command in your terminal:

wget -q -O kocality.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kocality/celestia-light/main/kocality.sh && sudo chmod +x kocality.sh && ./kocality.sh
