DVT, Empowering POS Decentralization
summary
Distributed Validator Technology lets operators run an Ethereum validator across multiple machines so no single operator can unilaterally slash or cause downtime; Obol already has 40+ entities on mainnet in shared clusters and reports early multi‑continent key shares (Ireland, Estonia, Canada). V1 is ~80% complete, tests show cluster performance within 1% of a regular validator, and teams partner with Nethermind to add ZK “proof of participation” for accountability and a multiclient V2 roadmap toward a networked V3.
