Distributed Validation as the antidote to Staking Centralization - Pablo Villalba

Ethereum DenverSat, Oct 7, 2023, 12:00 AM

Speaker

Pablo Villalba

Not many Ethereans have both the technical knowledge AND the 32 ETH required to run a validator. And because of it, CEXs and "curated" staking pools are growing in size and power Decentralization is at Stake! Distributed Validation can do for Staking what Layer 2s did for Mainnet fees, helping increase resiliency and lowering the barriers of entry for home stakers. This talk explores "Classic DVT" and its limitations, and proposes a "DVTv2" model which offers: - Full integration of Liquid Staking + DVT - An economic model to guarantee a permissionless & trust-minimized design - The advantages of pooled staking vs solo staking - Its connection to MEV and the future of staking https://twitter.com/micho Pablo Villalba Co-founder Diva – ETH Liquid Staking powered by DVT Building simple solutions to important problems.
