Are you strapped in and ready to make history? We're in the heart of the mission control room, preparing for the Limited Launch of the ssv.network mainnet.

After seeing this post about ssv.network, I became curious about what the rest of reddit thought about it.

It's pretty much an alternative to https://ssv.network/ (DVT)

Solo stakers and other community stakers are invited to participate in the next round of DVT testing with Obol Network and SSV Network. Deteails in the original Twitter thread.

I would start here - https://ssv.network/

Currently we are supporting Staking on testnet as well as creating a testnet Node Operator for the SSV network (https://ssv.network/) As you can see from the video, there is still a ton left to do, a lot of components/features we are planning to implement missing and polish to apply before we can think of a full release.

What you're describing already exists! It was on the top of Vitalik's roadmap (https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1466411377107558402), funded through a grant from the Ethereum Foundation, and has a working public testnet that is close to mainnet launch. Check out ssv.network. And here's a good video that gives a decent overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV70EgAKkrI

I thing ssv.network did present something in AMS this week which shares portions of the validation keys accross a network of operators who need to aggregate a signature to validate. It's still not your keys, not your validator, but at least you are dilluting the risk by splitting the trust into several parties which would need to collude to slash you, which they also have no incentive to. Now do you trade the key split for the convenience of delegating the infra is another topic :)
