## bootstrap/types.proto ### Message NodeInfo | Field | Type | Label | Description | | ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- | | Address | [string](#string) | | Address is a node [multi-address](https://github.com/multiformats/multiaddr) | | PubKey | [bytes](#bytes) | | PubKey is a compressed public key representation in bytes | | Options | [string](#string) | repeated | Options is set of node optional information, such as storage capacity, node location, price and etc | | state | [NodeInfo.State](#bootstrap.NodeInfo.State) | | | ### NodeInfo.State | Name | Number | Description | | ---- | ------ | ----------- | | Unknown | 0 | | | Online | 1 | | | Offline | 2 | | ## Scalar Value Types | .proto Type | Notes | C++ Type | Java Type | Python Type | | ----------- | ----- | -------- | --------- | ----------- | | double | | double | double | float | | float | | float | float | float | | int32 | Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint32 instead. | int32 | int | int | | int64 | Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint64 instead. | int64 | long | int/long | | uint32 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint32 | int | int/long | | uint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint64 | long | int/long | | sint32 | Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int32s. | int32 | int | int | | sint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int64s. | int64 | long | int/long | | fixed32 | Always four bytes. More efficient than uint32 if values are often greater than 2^28. | uint32 | int | int | | fixed64 | Always eight bytes. More efficient than uint64 if values are often greater than 2^56. | uint64 | long | int/long | | sfixed32 | Always four bytes. | int32 | int | int | | sfixed64 | Always eight bytes. | int64 | long | int/long | | bool | | bool | boolean | boolean | | string | A string must always contain UTF-8 encoded or 7-bit ASCII text. | string | String | str/unicode | | bytes | May contain any arbitrary sequence of bytes. | string | ByteString | str |
