# Node Hosts

## Overview of Nodes

Currently, to power the OmniFlix Network, 3 types of nodes are used/have been implemented:

1. Validator
2. Relayer
3. Storage

Let's take a quick look at each of these.

### 1) Validator

* A validator node is the equivalent of a miner in a proof-of-stake network like the Bitcoin or others. 
* Currently a validator is reponsible for:

  * block production
  * governance participation (on behalf of delegators)

  and more!
* To know more about a validator and what a validator does in a proof-of-stake context, refer to the official [Cosmos documentation](https://hub.cosmos.network/main/validators/validator-faq.html) for a clear explanation.
* To run a validator on the OmniFlix Network testnet, visit our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/OmniFlix/docs/tree/main/guides/testnets/flixnet-3).

### 2) Relayer

* A `relayer` is a node that moves packets from one chain to another and is a core component in the communication with other chains.
* Relayer Node Hosts typically run Relayer infrastructure for more than a single chain.

If you are interested to run a `Relayer`, reach out to us on our [website](https://O).

### 3) Storage

*  A `storage` node contributes to the storage and delivery of content within the network.
*   Storage Nodes are redundant in nature and will most likely have a limit on the total storage that can be contributed to the network.
* Redundant copies of the content hosted by a single storage node are maintained in the network to prevent loss of content in the case of a technical glitch. 

If you are interested to run a `Storage Node`, reach out to us on our [website](https://O).
