# pat - the fastest way to run a Celestia light node

pat is f.k.a. Quazar, f.k.a. Quasar

## quazar ✨ a Celestia light node macOS app

Introducing quazar ✨ [v0.3.0-alpha](https://github.com/jcstein/node-app/releases/tag/quazar_v0.3.0-alpha_CN-v0.11.0-rc10_Arabica),

a [Celestia light node](https://docs.celestia.org/nodes/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).

## Features ⚙️

v0.3.0-alpha of this app runs on the [Arabica devnet](https://docs.celestia.org/nodes/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 account `my_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

### DASer sampling statistics

* `🧪 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
