Key Insights

  • Like MEV-Boost, Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) is a blockchain middleware solution that can enhance the operation of an Ethereum validator.
  • DVT allows multiple non-trusting machines or operators to collectively run one or many “distributed” validators.
  • As long as a predefined majority threshold of operators are signing appropriately, the validator will perform its duties as intended.
  • DVT can improve validator security, uptime, and profitability, and at the same time, provide an additional layer of reliability to the Ethereum network.
