This week @DV_Labs completes its 100th two-week sprint. That’s more than four years of compounding effort. In the last quarter in particular (with the help of the latest coding agents) that compound growth rate is probably the highest it’s ever been. Distributed validators are the gold standard for staking. The Obol Stack will be the framework of choice for deploying agents on Ethereum.

Local nodes, local indices, local models powering local agents. The Obol Stack is making decentralisation more user friendly than it’s ever been. Glad to see Vitalik adjusting course from the idea that a handful of builders and ZK proofs keeps Ethereum sufficiently decentralised

@VitalikButerin

The idea that ZK'ing means that running nodes doesn't matter is itself misleading imo (and I was misled by this for a long time) You need to be able to not just verify the correctness of headers, but be able to read the chain, in a privacy-preserving and censorship-resistant

Somebody should tell Vitalik you can create a key, prepare a dkg, and complete a dkg in one line each using Obol Distributed Validators. End to end encrypted. With a couple more commands he can run near any combination of Ethereum clients, and take part in securing Ethereum as a squad. Glad to see some signs of engagement from the EF on the importance of Ethereum's decentralisation.

@VitalikButerin

The Ethereum Foundation is using DVT-lite to stake 72,000 ETH: https://firefly.social/post/x/2026218289928556625… My hope for this project is that in the process, we can make it maximally easy and one-click to do distributed staking for institutions. Choose which computers run your nodes, make a config

Crypto is the best substrate for agents to send value. The Obol Stack will be the best substrate for agents to run decentralised services. We just dropped v0.4 which gives ObolClaw agents Ethereum wallets. FAFO with caution, don't give an agent more than you're willing to lose. twitter.com/OisinKyne/status/2...

Word on the street is correlated downtime penalties will be proposed for Hegota 👀 So who is going to be its anti-champion? Who thinks we shouldn't penalise validators extra for going offline at the same time? Who will steelman the anti-case? Volunteers and nominations in the 🧵

Distributed validators run by high quality professional node operators are the safest way to stake. Lido reflects this by offering the most capital efficient settings to these vaults. If you an institution or financial service looking to use stVaults, get in touch to get setup. twitter.com/OisinKyne/status/2...

We’re partnering with Lido and some of the Ethereum client teams to launch an stVault. There’s never been a way to choose to stake on Ethereum client team-run validators. Soon you can. Help support Ethereum’s client diversity. Stake on the client team’s Distributed Validator. twitter.com/OisinKyne/status/2...

In my 8th year working on Ethereum, this one felt different. We doubled the gas limit. Introduced short term data for rollups. Gas is the cheapest I’ve ever seen. We shipped two hard forks. We’ve been adopted by the largest financial systems in the world, and much more. Ethereum twitter.com/OisinKyne/status/2...

This is a valuable test for the legitimacy of an Ethereum wallet. The results in the thread are disappointing. We’re building the Obol Stack, to make it easier to run your own node and to take back control of your crypto. I hope a year from now all these wallets work locally. twitter.com/OisinKyne/status/2...
