Staking

• Celestia supports staking. Celestia uses a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. Celestia holders can stake their tokens to validators.
• Validators participate in consensus to produce new blocks and validate transactions.
• By staking Celestia, holders can earn rewards.

Balances

The base unit of Celestia is utia (microtia).

• 1 tia = 1,000,000 utia
• 1 utia = 0.000001 tia

To check the balance of a wallet:

Copy code block
1

3
const address = yield walletInstance.getAddress({ address: 'celestia1mlxcf06y3lumezyf79n0p4hkpg26ycdr8prjnw' });
const bal = address.balance;
return bal;

Tokens

Celestia does not support tokens transactions.

Consolidation

We are supporting memo based addresses. Therefore, consolidation is not required.

Fee rate
