SSV Community boasts over $3 billion in complete worth locked (TVL) and welcomes almost 30,000 validators and 700+ node operators throughout its community.
Ethereum-focused distributed validator community SSV Community marks a ‘large step ahead’ throughout the restaking and staking ecosystems, reaching 1 Million $ETH staked on its platform. The protocol formally went dwell following the disclosing of its permissionless community in December 2023, permitting varied companions and solo stakers to securely distribute ETH validators and earn rewards for turning into node operators on the platform.
The DAO-owned and open-sourced protocol supplies infrastructure that permits builders to construct distributed validator know-how (DVT) powered staking functions atop it. The community allows the distribution of validator duties to trust-minimized node operators to extend resilience, uptime, and decentralization.
Restaking, the most recent pattern in blockchain, permits builders to make use of a blockchain to safe different decentralized functions. Restaking protocols can permissionlessly make the most of SSV Community to boost their restaking operations. By providing a extremely resilient and strong infrastructure, SSV Community additional extends Ethereum’s crypto-economic safety by securing its base layer. Round 11,500 validators ($1.2b out of the $3.2b complete tvl) of staked ETH is from their companions and integrations within the restaking ecosystem.
By reaching the landmark in ETH staked, SSV Community promotes enhanced safety for functions and a chance for customers to earn extra rewards by means of it’s prolonged incentivization program. Moreover, it solidifies SSV Community as a “essential infrastructure” in staking and restaking, distributing validators amongst Ethereum’s best node operators that function contained in the SSV Community.
SSV’s DVT infrastructure supplies a layer whereby Eth validator nodes could be distributed geographically between a number of machines with a number of parts. Up to now, over 700 globally distributed node operators run varied execution and consensus purchasers with completely different infrastructure varieties and MEV relays. This supplies customers with extra flexibility and resilience than conventional non-DVT staking platforms. Integrations with the SSV Community embody Lido Finance, Ether.fi (no 1. LRT by TVL), P2P.org, Renzo, and so forth., every with a substantial quantity of validators unfold throughout the community.
“SSV Community is creating the brand new gold normal for ETH staking and taking the trade by storm as a result of it builds on the group’s open-source, permissionless, and trustless ethos,” a workforce member from SSV Labs (contributor to SSV Community) acknowledged.
Reaching 1 million staked ETH is predicted to spark elevated adoption of the platform and cement SSV Community’s place within the main staking and restaking validator ecosystem charts.
Lastly, SSV Community additionally introduced its up to date scaling roadmap, which goals to scale back the {hardware} necessities for node operators. The platform is shifting from the beneficial 4-core CPU to 8-core, rising the {hardware} prices for node operators. Nonetheless, SSV Labs, one of many protocol’s growth groups, is engaged on options to scale back the {hardware} necessities by 75–90% over the subsequent 12 months.
About SSV Community
SSV Community leverages its Distributed Validator Know-how (DVT) protocol to boost Ethereum staking and restaking mechanisms. DVT, a groundbreaking architectural framework designed particularly for ETH staking permits the distribution of validator operations throughout impartial operators, leveraging QBFT consensus protocol and threshold signatures.
By offering a sturdy and resilient protocol for re/staking, SSV Community goals to foster a safe surroundings for the execution of validator operations.
