on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Claims a modular DVT architecture that runs each validator as a four-operator cluster for fault tolerance, plugging SSV and Obol to absorb multiple MEV boost protocols. Cites $20B TVL with >70% on one protocol and Lido ~30 validators, staking queue 16 days vs unstake 5 hours. Introduces vFPS underwriters to drop the effective self-bond from 4 ETH to near zero, letting capital underwriters earn >7% while validators keep ~5–7% yields.
