Introducing the University Validator Program! 🎓

Created in collaboration with @Collegedao_Hub, this program is designed to bring high quality Ethereum education to universities: teaching students how to run validators in a decentralized way!

$50M has already settled between AI agents via x402 in just a few months.

The commerce layer for the agent economy is being decided right now, and we're ensuring it will be open and on Ethereum.

Today we shipped Obol Stack v0.9.0.

$OBOL is now money for the agent economy!

The DV Launchpad just got a major upgrade 🚀

See who's running Distributed Validators...and who has a stake in it.

Here's what's new 🧵⬇️

Obol and @dsrvlabs present a collaborative report on the State of Ethereum in South Korea.

A deep dive into one of Ethereum’s most unique local scenes featuring the key voices pushing it forward.

As we discovered, the South Korean community is ready to build the future 🇰🇷🌱

The Staking End Game

Pantera just dropped their thesis on the future of staking.

Obol Distributed Validators will secure trillions in value.

[Stakely @Stakely_io]

📢 Update: Migration complete! We've successfully shifted 1,000 Lido validators from mainnet to intra-operator DVT with @Obol_Collective

Zero slashes, <30 min downtime. Delicate process, but resilience wins every time 🔒

This operation boosts Lido's APR via OBOL tokens & hardens our setup. Committed to @LidoFinance & @Obol_Collective! 🤝

@hanni_abu @RobertSagurton Robert, you're about to get cooked if you continue to respond. I am warning you now

[Squad Staking @squadstaking]

@Obol_Collective the squad is ready to run this thing

Forgot about The Obol Stack?

We’ve been buidling.

This changes everything. More soon.

The end game of Ethereum staking is coming ⏳

Stakely is the first node operator to join our Curated Module Migration Program.

@TrinityMorphy @greenpilldevs squaaaaaad!

Early last month, @greenpilldevs published its Regenerative Stack series, exploring different ideas and models for funding regenerative coordination.

One model that really stood out to me was squad staking, where a group of people (a squad) come together to collectively run an Ethereum validator.

The existing approach focuses on technical participation: squad members purchase nodes, use DVTs like @Obol_Collective, and join @LidoFinance CSM to access the 32 ETH validator collateral after providing a bond between 1.8 to 2.5 ETH.

In my latest article, I explore the separation of technical contribution and financial where members could choose to be technical participants that purchase nodes to run the squad validator or financial participants that provide the bond for activating validator capital from chosen staking protocols.

I also outline practical allocation strategies for using this model to create a scalable and sustainable funding mechanism for regeneration. I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach.
