# Service Providers
A service provider represents one of the three integral components, each of which plays a vital role in delivering services to Züs. Active providers are eligible for commitments and rewards in exchange for services provisioned.
1. Miners are responsible for generating blocks.
2. Sharders take on the critical task of storing the blockchain, as well as other associated data such as the event database. They also provide support for a query REST API.
3. Blobbers serve as repositories for user data files.
If you wish to access the list of service providers through the Atlus Dashboard, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Atlus[ app ](https://atlus.cloud/)and click on the "Service Providers" section, which is conveniently highlighted within a black box in screenshot below :
2\. The service providers (including blobbers, sharders, and miners) will be categorized into separate sections for your convenience.
