Openbitlab PoS Validator

Less crowded than last year and with some bear market vibes, but attending @EthCC is always inspirational

On March 12, Polkadot resets its economic model. Issuance, staking, and capital allocation are being fundamentally redesigned for long-term sustainability. Here’s what’s changing and what it means for Polkadot’s future 🧵

@d_gusakov @LidoFinance yes sir 🫡

Who is going to Cannes this year?

Congrats to @mellowprotocol on launching the first Core Vault with @LidoFinance!

2m+ proofs verified via @ZKVProtocol, well done! 👏

Thrilled to join zkVerify as a genesis validator, leveraging our decade-long expertise to enhance network security. What a chance to help power scalable proof verification amid growing global demand for zero-knowledge tech 🤝 A universal verification layer is essential for the ZK era

Staying DN-rule compliant just got easier! We noticed there wasn’t a quick way to check unpaid eras for validators on #Polkadot & #Kusama… so we built one 👀 A clean UI that lists all unpaid eras at a glance 👇 ➡️ dn-payouts.openbitlab.com

With 160 active validators on @ssv_network, and together with the 80 validators on @Obol_Collective, we just achieved 240 $ETH staked! At the current price, we crossed $35m 💰 Check it out 👇🏻 explorer.ssv.network/mainnet/operat… explorer.rated.network/o/Obol%20-%20H…

Our Insightful Ibex cluster - powered by @ssv_network - is consistently the best pool of @LidoFinance SimpleDVT Module 📈 With a 30-day raver of 98.74%, it outperforms the average Ethereum validators' raver of 97.91% 🔥 Check it out: explorer.rated.network/o/Lido%20Simpl…

@d_gusakov 🔥

Did someone say Lido Staked ETF?

@socialforging @AvailProject All the best for your future!

This week I will be wrapping up my time as Validator Engagement Lead at @AvailProject. It's been a really rewarding time spent since I joined just before TGE, managing the mainnet genesis set and expansion operations since then out to our now 105 active set. Alongside this, the nomination program has been something I really enjoyed working on with @governingweb3, Toufeeq and others. A big thank you to @anuragarjun @prabalbanerjee and the rest of the avail team for being such great coworkers, leaders and mentors during this time, I am going to be following along closely to the updates that I know are coming down the line. (I'm really going to miss Marko's monologues and comedy) Lastly, thanks to all the Validators who have been the backbone of the DA layer. It's always with great pleasure that we build relationships and work together on network stability and growth, I'm sure we will be seeing each other again soon!

What’s next Here is a glimpse into their roadmap 👇 🔹 Release more verifiers 🔹 Unlock more integrations 🔹 Governance going live 🔹 ProofPoints + ZK Games continue

The journey ⚙️ Public Testnet Beta (early 2024): laid architecture, onboarded early verifiers: Fflonk, Groth16, Risc0, zkSync Era zkVerify ⚙️ Incentivized Testnet + ProofPoints: community-powered stress tests, gaming, voting & feedback zkVerify ⚙️ Permanent Testnet (Volta): performance tune-ups, expanded verifier support (Ultraplonk, SP1, Plonky2, Halo2, etc.), bridging zkVerify to the EVM via VFlow parachain ⚙️ Mainnet Launch: validator set genesis, token live, infrastructure ready for builders

zkVerify just launched on mainnet 🎉 A dedicated layer built for ZK proof verification is now live: workload can now be offloaded from L1s, lowering and stabilizing verification costs. And we’re excited to help safeguard the network from day one!

We're glad to have been selected for another round of @Web3foundation Decentralized Nodes Program! We will serve Cohort #3 with passion and commitment, helping Polkadot and Kusama to get ready for JAM 🤝 Winner list: nodes.web3.foundation/cohorts/3

The guys in our cluster are not joking, Insightful Ibex is the best-performing $ETH node on @LidoFinance using @ssv_network 🔥 Raven: 98.71% 🫡

@LidoFinance @mellowprotocol @Obol_Collective @ssv_network 📈

DVV All Time High + Limit Increase The Decentralised Validator Vault has hit an all-time high at 14,344 wstETH (~$44m). Adding to this, the deposit limit has been upped to 20,000 wstETH, fuelling DVT adoption through Lido, Obol & SSV. Higher limits. More decentralisation.

There was no shortage of cool side events at @EthCC, but @LidoFinance Stakers Guild was the one you don’t want to miss 🍷
