The Foundation of Layer 1 Blockchains and Decentralized Infrastructure Networks

Introduction

Proof of Stake blockchains like Ethereum are currently secured by traditional validators, with single points of failure and centralizing dynamics. By solving these issues, Obol’s ground-breaking Distributed Validators (DVs) represent a bright future for Layer 1 Blockchains and Decentralized Infrastructure Networks.

Obol DVs fundamentally shift Web3’s power dynamics, by enabling at-home node operators to outperform large professional operators, with lower risk. For the first time ever, anyone can operate high-performance, slashing resistant nodes with simple at-home hardware. 

Obol acts as a foundation for Layer 1’s as well as other emerging Decentralized Infrastructure Networks (Layer 2’s, DePin, Sequencers, Provers, Preconfirmations, AVS’s, Oracles, etc). Ethereum staking protocols like Lido and EtherFi are already using Obol DVs on mainnet to onboard hundreds of at-home operators and secure nearly $1 billion in stake. Obol DVs are also active on Gnosis Chain, and coming soon to Monad. Obol has a vision for securing all applicable PoS Layer 1 blockchains, which currently include more than $500 billion of staked assets, and are likely to secure trillions of dollars in the future.

Now, the launch of the OBOL Token enables Obol to decentralize ownership and governance, conduct retroactive funding for ecosystem builders, and improve operator economics. Obol now has everything it needs to expand its Decentralized Operator Ecosystem and solidify itself as the foundation of Decentralized Infrastructure Networks.


Key Highlights

  • More than $2B TVL Committed by Lido & EtherFi: DVs allowed Lido and EtherFi to expand their operator set with hundreds of new node operators. With half the committed stake already active, Obol DVs are already outperforming all other Lido modules, and enabling EtherFi to build the strongest possible foundation for restaking.

  • Distributed Validators on Monad and Gnosis: Obol DVs have already expanded beyond Ethereum, with Gnosis Chain supporting mainnet testing and stake delegation through the Gnosis Foundation. At the same time, Magma and Obol are exploring DVs on Monad to enhance the resilience and decentralization of Magma’s liquid staking protocol. Other use cases related to L2s and base sequencing are being actively explored.

  • DVs for ETFs and Institutions: Quay Cove’s staked ETH fund is a prime example of Obol DVs reducing risk and increasing rewards for institutional investors. Obol DVs are also recognized in the Liquid Collective’s Node Operator Risk Standard. (NORS) Meanwhile, existing partnerships with insurance providers Relm and Chainproof ensure that Obol is ready for the institutional staked ETH market and staked ETH ETFs.

  • 600+ Mainnet Operators, 3000+ Credential Holders: Operators are the backbone of Obol’s Decentralized Operator Ecosystem. With over 600 active operators on mainnet, and thousands more with verifiable experience operating DVs on testnet, Obol stands ready to scale and decentralize any decentralized infrastructure network.
