celestia-app is the software used by [validators](https://docs.celestia.org/nodes/validator-node) and [consensus nodes](https://docs.celestia.org/nodes/consensus-node) on the Celestia consensus network. celestia-app is a blockchain application built using parts of the Cosmos stack:

- [celestiaorg/cosmos-sdk](https://github.com/celestiaorg/cosmos-sdk) a fork of [cosmos/cosmos-sdk](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk)
- [celestiaorg/celestia-core](https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-core) a fork of [cometbft/cometbft](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft)

## Install

### Source

1. [Install Go](https://go.dev/doc/install) 1.23.1
1. Clone this repo
1. Install the celestia-app CLI

```shell
make install
```

### Prebuilt binary

If you'd rather not install from source, you can download a prebuilt binary from the [releases](https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-app/releases) page.

1. Navigate to the latest release on .
1. Download the binary for your platform (e.g. `celestia-app_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz`) from the **Assets** section. Tip: if you're not sure what platform you're on, you can run `uname -a` and look for the operating system (e.g. `Linux`, `Darwin`) and architecture (e.g. `x86_64`, `arm64`).
1. Extract the archive

```shell
tar -xvf celestia-app_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
```

1. Verify the extracted binary works

```shell
./celestia-appd --help
```

1. [Optional] verify the prebuilt binary checksum. Download `checksums.txt` and then verify the checksum:

```shell
sha256sum --ignore-missing --check checksums.txt
```

You should see output like this:

```shell
celestia-app_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz: OK
```

See for more information.

## Usage

First, make sure that the [BBR](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-cardwell-iccrg-bbr-congestion-control-01.html) ("Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time") congestion control algorithm is enabled in the
system's kernel. The result should contain `bbr`:

```sh
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control
```

If not, enable it on Linux by calling the `make enable-bbr` or by running:

```sh
sudo modprobe tcp_bbr
net.core.default_qdisc=fq
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr
sudo sysctl -p
```

```sh
# Print help
celestia-appd --help
```

### Environment variables

| Variable | Explanation | Default value | Required |
|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|----------|
| `CELESTIA_HOME` | Where the application directory (`.celestia-app`) should be saved | [User home directory](https://pkg.go.dev/os#UserHomeDir) | Optional |

### Create your own single node devnet

```sh
# Start a single node devnet
./scripts/single-node.sh

# Publish blob data to the local devnet
celestia-appd tx blob pay-for-blob 0x00010203040506070809 0x48656c6c6f2c20576f726c6421 \
--chain-id private \
--from validator \
--keyring-backend test \
--fees 21000utia \
--yes
```

> [!NOTE]
> The celestia-appd binary doesn't support signing with Ledger hardware wallets on Windows and OpenBSD.

### Usage as a library

If import celestia-app as a Go module, you may need to add some Go module `replace` directives to avoid type incompatibilities. Please see the `replace` directive in [go.mod](./go.mod) for inspiration.

## Contributing

This repo attempts to conform to [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) so PR titles should ideally start with `fix:`, `feat:`, `build:`, `chore:`, `ci:`, `docs:`, `style:`, `refactor:`, `perf:`, or `test:` because this helps with semantic versioning and changelog generation. It is especially important to include an `!` (e.g. `feat!:`) if the PR includes a breaking change.

This repo contains multiple go modules. When using it, rename `go.work.example` to `go.work` and run `go work sync`.
