Celestia has officially launched its mainnet, named Lemon Mint, on October 31, 2023, at 14:00 UTC. This marks a significant milestone for the community, especially since the publication of the LazyLedger Whitepaper.

The launch signifies the beginning of an era focused on verifiability and collaboration among blockchains. Developers now have the opportunity to build applications utilizing blobspace, such as onchain gaming, using tools like the Rollup Framework, Smart Contract dev, Block Explorers, and Wallets.

Celestia aims to achieve trust minimization, allowing anyone to publish data by running a light node without the need for a centralized API. The Celestia Foundation, a non-profit organization, has been established to uphold the project's values and support its development.
