Featured Looking Forward: Obol V2 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.
Ethereum Featured 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.
Featured 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.
Testnet Featured The Athena Journey: Running, Exiting & Bia Testnet Our Athena testnet resulted in 5000+ signups, 200+ successful Distributed Key Generation (DKG) ceremonies, 100+ Distributed Validator Clusters signing attestations across 40+ countries.
Testnet 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.
Ethereum Featured The Athena 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 testnet; Athena, and our roadmap
Ethereum Featured 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.
Ethereum Obol Genesis Community Announcement 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.
