# GATA HUB FAQs
What is "GATA HUB"?
GATA HUB is the overarching term for all activities in and around GATA. These various ventures of GATA are consisting of the following parts:
* GATA VALIDATORS -> infrastructure services ([validators](/g/gatahub/gata-validators.md), [relayers](/g/gatahub/public-goods/gata-relays.md) & [testnet](/g/gatahub/gata-validators/gata-testnet-validators.md) operations)
* GATA DAO -> DAO activities, core NFT collections ([GATAc](/g/gatahub/gata-nfts/genesis-collection.md#colonial-cats-gatac) & [GATAv](/g/gatahub/gata-nfts/genesis-collection.md#voyager-cats-gatav)), [monthly GATA epoch rewards](/g/gatahub/gata-nfts/genesis-collection/dao-revenue-distribution.md)
* GATA YIELD -> Yield series collections ([YGs](/g/gatahub/gata-nfts/yield-gorilla.md)), [monthly YG epoch rewards](/g/gatahub/gata-nfts/yield-gorilla/yg-reward-distributions.md)
How does GATA HUB provide value for its community?
