Ethereum Proof-of-Stake, Staking, and Validators
Ethereum’s transition to Proof of Stake (PoS) involves validators performing network duties through staking, requiring complex setups. Validator keys’ management is crucial due to risks of penalties, hacking, and downtime, prompting the emergence of staking services.
Introducing SSV Network
The SSV protocol, now known as DVT (Distributed Validator Technology), enables distributed Ethereum validator operation, enhancing security, fault tolerance, and decentralization. It employs a unique approach, splitting and distributing validator private keys across nodes, ensuring no single node can control the validator.
Participants in ssv.network contribute 32 ETH to run validators, earning rewards for securing Ethereum. Stakers pay operators in SSV tokens and receive ETH rewards. Operators manage validators and charge fees. Liquidators maintain network solvency, receiving collateral for successful liquidations. A DAO oversees network governance and decisions.
SSV Token
SSV token provides enhanced security and reliability for ETH staking, requiring stakers to pay fees to operators and the DAO.
The SSV token serves as the payment layer for the network, enabling stakers to manage their costs and aligning the interests of participants. The protocol encourages transparency, cost optimization, and collateral maintenance.
SSV DAO
The SSV DAO promotes decentralized governance and ownership of ssv.network, allowing community members to propose, vote on initiatives, and govern the protocol using SSV Tokens.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are crucial for coordinating decentralized protocols like SSV, ensuring fair governance, network fees, and treasury decisions. DAO members define parameters, propose/vote on initiatives, and oversee operations. The foundation, dGC, Multi-Sig Committee, and Ambassadors play key roles in SSV’s ecosystem, including execution, governance, moderation, and marketing efforts.
DAO Proposal
The process for proposals, grants, and voting on the ssv.network involves community discussion, submission, voting using SSV tokens, and execution of passed votes through the Multi-Sig Committee.
