Official documentation
Before We begin for your easier understanding
CONSENSUS_NODE is same as celestia-app node
Core ip can be consensus node ip or an RPC endpoint
Setting Variables
RPC_NODE_IP="Your-RPC-ENDPOINT"
RPC_PORT="Your-RPC-PORT"

Your celestia Bridge Node is saved at /usr/local/bin/celestia
Initializing Bridge Node
# After starting the Bridge Node, a wallet key will be generated for you.
celestia bridge init --core.ip RPC_NODE_IP
To facilitate Blob transactions, you must fund this address with Mainnet tokens.
If you did not save the wallet address you can find the address by running the following command:
cd $HOME/celestia-node
./cel-key list --node.type bridge --keyring-backend test

Retrieve your node's peerId information.
Note: You can only generate an auth token after initializing and starting your Celestia node.
NODE_TYPE=bridge
AUTH_TOKEN=$(celestia $NODE_TYPE auth admin)
