Client Diversity

Client diversity underpins the safety of Ethereum’s consensus mechanism, and Node Operators using the Lido protocol have always been at the forefront of reducing majority client usage.

More metrics

Distributed validators

The Simple DVT Module uses Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) from Obol and SSV Network to reduce the technical and operational risks related to the operation of validators. Validators in SDVT are operated by clusters of participants, each composed of 7 Node Operators who range from professionals to solo stakers, operating in concert.

Rewards may fluctuate and are influenced by factors outside the platform’s control, including changes to blockchain protocols and validator performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Rewards are not assured and depend on the specific rules and mechanisms established by each underlying blockchain network. Users should conduct their own research, seek professional advice, and ensure they understand the risks before participating.
