Initializing Bridge Node
Copy # 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:
Copy cd $HOME/celestia-node
./cel-key list --node.type bridge --keyring-backend test Creating Systemd
