SSV Network protocol
Overview
SSV Network is a decentralized staking protocol for Ethereum that uses Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) to split a validator key into multiple shares, enabling non-custodial and permissionless staking. It allows multiple operators to run a validator together, increasing security and fault tolerance, and is used for ETH staking in pools or solo setups.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, SSV Network connects to 6 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, SSV, PeckShield.

More on SSV Network
Frequently asked questions
What is distributed validator technology?
A scheme that splits a validator key into shares held by several independent nodes that jointly operate the validator using threshold signatures, so no single node holds the full key.
What benefit does SSV give a validator?
Active-active redundancy and fault tolerance -- the validator continues its duties even if some of its nodes are down -- plus stronger key security.
How is ssv.network governed?
As a DAO, with the SSV token used within the network.
