In a move to increase Ethereum's decentralization and security, StaFi Protocol announced the implementation of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) from the Shared Security Validator (SSV) network into the Ethereum mainnet today. This integration enhances node accessibility for validators staking $rETH, tokens symbolizing staked ETH.
The DVT allows validators to operate across multiple nodes or machines. It employs various security measures aimed at preventing validator key theft and slashing. A Distributed Verifiable Threshold (DVT), which is part of the technology, protects the validator's staking private key until a majority of Co-Validators breach security. This feature enhances validator information security and operational safety.
Incorporated into StaFi's Ethereum liquid staking solution through the Router module, DVT also introduces Decentralised VPN (DVPN) to the system. The Router module plays a critical role in implementing Distributed Virtual Trust (DVT), further boosting Ethereum network security and decentralization.
The Router module maintains balance in the staking pool and reserves a specific amount of ETH for withdrawals. Users can contribute 12 ETH as validators if the pool balance exceeds 20 ETH, with the Router manually activating once the total reaches 32 ETH.
This integration of DVT via StaFi's Router has advanced liquid staking, improving Ethereum network security, decentralization, and validator efficiency. The move is expected to have significant implications for how validators interact with the Ethereum network and manage their stakes.
