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! 👇🧵

some squads are now working to deploy their own agent businesses come together to create some alpha, package it and sell to the agentic economy

whole squad running validators & agents

pro tip: update your ENS and profile picture, and flex with your squad 💪

ObolClaw v0.8.0 is live! Deploy an AI agent on your own hardware. Sell services. Earn USDC on Mainnet or @base! One-line install, one command. Agentic commerce on Ethereum! Here's what shipped 🧵

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 🇰🇷🌱

huge news for the squad

Obol and @Nethermind are joining forces to strengthen Ethereum. Introducing Pluto: a new client built on the DV Spec that brings client diversity to Distributed Validators.

The Staking End Game Pantera just dropped their thesis on the future of staking. Obol Distributed Validators will secure trillions in value.

📢 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! 🤝

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. Obol 🤝 @Stakely_io 🤝 @LidoFinance

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.

Introducing the Ethereum Institutional Staking Survey. A joint initiative by @Obol_Collective, @LidoFinance & @KaikoData. As Ethereum enters a new era, we’ll be gathering insights to learn how top institutions are thinking about Ethereum and where ETH staking is headed next.

how long until they start Squad Staking?

Operation Solo Staker w/ @EtherFi continues to grow! 100 node operators secure nearly $100M of $ETH on mainnet across 20 squads. #SquadStaking makes Ethereum more secure!

Announcing the Staking Mastery Program, Cohort 2! 🪂 Through research, building, and education, these pioneers contribute to the future of @ethereum staking: @entigdd @PelleKrab @cruujon @FomoSapiensLabs @rocknet_eth @FlorianWinklerK @JerCoffeeGang Meet the second ever cohort of Staking Masters 🧵👇

Our English podcast with @EspacioCripto has been released! Listen to @_Cryptoma and @Acidlazzer discuss Obol's mission of scaling Ethereum, as well as: ✅ OBOL Token ✅ OBOL Incentives ✅ Obol Collective Governance ...and more!

Our favorite part of Charon v1.3.0: everyone in the squad gets to set their own custom nickname! 💪
