SSV Network

For community operators, the hardest validator is often the first one. That path just got clearer. SSV Verified Operators and SSV High Signal are now recognized inside the ICS scoring framework for @LidoFinance CSM. Here’s what changed, why it matters, and how operators can use it. 🧵👇

Yield is easy to promise. Trust is harder to earn. Puffer Institutional gives institutions a clearer view of where yield comes from, how risk is managed, and what protects their capital. 🐡

The hardest part for many community operators is not running the validator. It’s getting the first real opportunity to prove they can. That’s why the SSV x @LidoFinance CSM update matters. SSV VO + SSV High Signal now carry more weight inside the ICS scoring framework. Here’s what changed, and how operators can use it.👇

The Syndicate has now concluded. If you're eligible for the boost, keep your cSSV staked in the same wallet until October 7. Nothing else to do. Base rewards continue as normal.
