What Is a Celestia Light Node?
Celestia light nodes are critical infrastructure components that verify blocks and ensure data availability for applications built on the Celestia network.
Unlike full nodes that download entire blocks, light nodes use a technique called Data Availability Sampling (DAS). This means they only download small portions of each block, making verification much more efficient.
The beauty of this system is that it scales with the number of participants. The more light nodes running, the more robust and scalable the Celestia network becomes.
What Are Lumis?
Running a light node on Leap unlocks a special collaborative NFT called Lumi. Crafted by the amazing @finidotworld team & powered by @Formachain
Lumis are flying companions to Celestia’s mighty Mammoths, soaring across new worlds and pushing decentralization further than ever.
By running a light node, you’re not just helping Celestia - you're joining the adventure.
How to Mint Your Lumi NFT
Getting your Lumi is easy:
1️⃣ Open the Leap app (or browser extension)
2️⃣ Tap the Mammoth Mode banner (or find it in the side menu)
3️⃣ Start running your Light Node
4️⃣ Tap Mint once your node is live!
