The post Celestia runs a light node in user’s browser when using TIA block explorer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Celestia (TIA) aims to popularize its node structure by running a node in anyone’s browser. Using the TIA block explorer temporarily turns every user into a node operator.  Celestia, the Data Availability network with modular scaling, is trying out a novel way of spreading awareness. Anyone opening the Celestia block explorer starts running a light node, serving to secure and decentralize the network. Celestia is approaching its first anniversary after launching its main net on October 31, 2023. The Celestia chain offered a Data Availability layer even before EigenDA, with the goal of becoming an intermediary between L2 and Ethereum for suitable projects. The Celenium block explorer has a feature that allows any user to start running a light node, connecting to other peers. The node does not require high-level resources, or overload a computer similar to browser mining. Celestia’s light node can be switched off at any time. Previously, light nodes required manual or command line launching.  Celestia light nodes can be switched on by choice through the Celenium explorer. | Source: Celenium.io The light node receives Celestia on-chain data, without the need for centralized calls. The lack of RPC also means one less attack vector for network participants. Running a node is strictly for personal usage, as well as for builders that want to deploy to Celestia. The node does not pay out any TIA rewards and does not require staking or other upfront investments.  The Celestia Data Availability layer is another way for L2 to interact with Ethereum. Celestia already supports projects like Manta. Others, like Arbitrum or Optimism, do not need a Data Availability layer; instead, they rely on direct L1 records by using blobs. In theory, however, Celestia can offer scaling services to existing chains, allowing them to break out of the limitations of their…
