Updates & Announcements Featured The Distributed Validator Protocol Roadmap Distributed Validators (DVs) are the next critical infrastructure primitive for the Ethereum network to improve security, resiliency and decentralisation. With the initial adoption of squad staking deployments and the eventual release of multiple DV client implementations, there is a growing need to define a DV protocol that establishes a foundation
Updates & Announcements Obol V2: Looking Forward In our continued effort to build the Obol Network; we have begun a working group to research, specify, implement, and maintain Obol V2, the Distributed Validator Protocol.
Updates & Announcements Road to Mainnet for Distributed Validators Today, we announced Ethereum Mainnet’s first distributed validator! This marks the first phase of Obol’s journey to bringing DVs to Mainnet Ethereum. Here, we will walk through our current design philosophy, protocol roadmap, and adoption strategy.
Education Designing Non-Correlation: Deep Dive Into DVT and Charon’s Architecture Minimizing correlation is vital when designing DVT as Ethereum Proof of Stake is designed to heavily punish correlated behavior. In designing Obol, we’ve made careful choices to create a trust-minimized and non-correlated architecture.
Community Testing The Athena Journey: Running, Exiting & What's Next Our Athena testnet resulted in 5000+ signups, 200+ successful Distributed Key Generation (DKG) ceremonies, 100+ Distributed Validator Clusters signing attestations across 40+ countries.
Community Testing The Athena Journey: Distributed Key Generation The next step in the Athena journey is taking part in a Distributed Key Generation Ceremony with other operators, setting the stage for validator activation which will take place in waves.
Community Testing The Athena Journey: Beginning on Goerli Testnet The Obol Core Team has been heads-down the last few months building out our Distributed Validator Middleware Client and running internal devnets. The time has come for Charon to be tested by a larger community of Node Operators. Today we are announcing Obol's first public testing effort on
Education Tackling the Staking Problem In 2018 I feared Proof of Stake wouldn't be as decentralised as Proof of Work. In 2022 I'm doing something about it with Obol Labs.
Updates & Announcements Obol's "Genesis Community" Of Investors & Advisors Today we are excited to share our genesis community along with our guiding mission, vision, and values on our path to securing the decentralisation of Proof of Stake Ethereum.
