Overview to running nodes on Celestia
There are many ways you can participate in the Celestia networks.
Celestia node operators can run several options on the network.
Consensus:
- Validator node: This type of node participates in consensus by producing and voting on blocks.
- Full consensus node: A celestia-app Full node to sync blockchain history.
Data Availability:
- Bridge node: This node bridges blocks between the Data-Availability network and the Consensus network.
- Full storage node: This node stores all the data but does not connect to Consensus.
- Light node: Light clients conduct data availability sampling on the Data Availability network.
You can learn more about how to setup each different node by going through each tutorial guide.
