# OORT Edge Nodes

## Node Providers

Node Providers, also known as miners, are individuals or organizations that support both Web2 and Web3 applications while earning rewards. By running an edge node on OORT’s decentralized network and providing storage and compute capacity, node providers play a critical role in supporting OORT DataHub on data collection, storage, and processing efficiently and securely.

## Different Types of Edge Nodes

Node providers can join and support OORT with two types of edge node devices, [Deimos](/edge/oort-edge-nodes/deimos.md) and Helium hotspots.

### Deimos

Deimos is the dedicated edge node device for OORT Edge. Compact and powerful, it comes in two versions: 

* **Deimos I**, optimized for decentralized AI data storage
* **Deimos II**, designed for compute-intensive tasks such as data processing and on-device inference.

Together, they power OORT DataHub with secure, scalable AI data storage and processing.

Make sure to purchase Deimos only from OORT's official [ecosystem partners](https://docs.oortech.com/oort-den/eco-partners/official-eco-partners).
{% endhint %}

### Helium Hotspots

Current Helium miners need to contact their Helium hotspot manufacturers to join OORT Edge.
