Tel-Aviv, Israel, twentieth January, 2023, Chainwire
ssv.network DAO is launching a $50 Million Ecosystem Fund devoted to supporting the event of Distributed Validator Expertise (“DVT”) based mostly functions. To usher within the subsequent wave of Ethereum staking applied sciences, a number of Staking corporations, VCs, and angels from the crypto house – together with the likes of DCG, OKX, HashKey, NGC, Everstake, HackVC, GSR, Refrain.One SevenX, 1kx, and extra – have joined forces to assist advance the subsequent era of staking options. All of those main gamers have come collectively to advertise Ethereum’s decentralization by way of using DVT.

The Fund is the primary devoted solely to DVT use circumstances. Companions backing up the Fund are inserting a particular emphasis on serving to tasks that can assist Ethereum’s decentralization over the long term as extra stakers be a part of the community. DVT and the varied use circumstances being constructed utilizing the tech are much like the early days of L2 implementations. Nevertheless, every know-how works by itself particular drawback, DVT, specializing in Ethereum’s safety and decentralization, and L2s, which focuses on transaction velocity and reducing prices.
The Fund’s objective is to Solidify DVT as crucial Ethereum infrastructure
DVT is a key element in Vitalik’s Ethereum’s roadmap towards a totally decentralized Ethereum 2.0. The ssv.community is the primary implementation of DVT and has positioned itself as Ethereum’s safety layer – or Layer 0. With every Ethereum validator that makes use of DVT, the community turns into extra decentralized and safe, bringing it one step nearer to a worldwide community uncensorable by anybody entity.
Earlier this 12 months, the ssv.community DAO pledged $3 Million for developer grants. In lower than 12 months, over $1.2 Million has been allotted to over 20 main corporations within the Proof of Stake (“POS”) ecosystem. Among the many grantees are industry-leading builders, together with Blockscape, ANKR, Stader, Moonstake, and others utilizing DVT to construct their next-gen functions.
The time to construct is now!
Whole ETH at stake is steadily approaching 16 million, with the vast majority of it concentrated within the palms of some gamers. It leaves the Ethereum ecosystem in demand for decentralizing components akin to DVT. Contemplating that the Shanghai replace and the ssv.community’s mainnet are approaching in 2023, there has by no means been a greater time to construct than the current.
Alon Muroch, Core Dev Lead – ”Distributing Ethereum’s safety layer has by no means been extra essential. The protocol is at present secured by a small group of corporations which, when put collectively, management your complete Blockchain. DVT’s purpose is to distribute Ethereum’s safety by providing fast and easy accessibility to an open-source, public good which can utterly change the way in which staking is operated at the moment. There are already greater than 20 corporations constructing on prime of ssv.community’s DVT protocol and that checklist is predicted to develop considerably with the Eco Fund’s launch”
“We imagine that it’s a pivotal second in ETH staking. We count on staked belongings to extend as staking yields are thought of the benchmark return for ETH house owners. A near-term tailwind is Ethereum’s Shanghai Improve, which is because of be launched within the first half of this 12 months and can allow liquidity for these contributing to the community’s core infrastructure. Few groups are as well-positioned as SSV to convene the various and cutting-edge merchandise and functions which can be utilizing and growing staking know-how. We’re excited to assist these tasks as a founding member of this ecosystem initiative.” In accordance with Samantha Bohbot, VP Progress for DCG.
About ssv.community
ssv.community is a frontrunner within the improvement of Distributed Validator Tech. DVT allows the distributed operation of Ethereum validators by way of a community of trustless nodes. As a core element of Ethereum’s roadmap, DVT goals to resolve protocol-wide correlation and downtime dangers. The community is constructed as a community-owned public good run by tons of of nodes throughout the globe. The Community helps over 50 improvement groups constructing next-gen ETH staking functions. The assorted use circumstances starting from staking providers to solo stakers constructed on the SSV protocol will usher within the widespread utilization and adoption of the DVT primitive.
