# Nodes Bootstrap

Run Unibase DA nodes: **Stream** (encode), **Storage** (store + prove), **Validator** (watch + challenge).

### Node Types

| Type          | Role                              | Reward                       |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Stream**    | Encode data as configured         | Submit encode proof to chain |
| **Storage**   | Store encoded data; submit proofs | Epoch proof rewards          |
| **Validator** | Watch proofs; challenge if wrong  | Challenge rewards            |
