Attestant is pleased to announce that it has been acquired by Bitwise Asset Management Inc: businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Bitwise is acquiring @AttestantIO, a non-custodial institutional Ethereum staking provider with $4B in staked ether. Why? We fell in love with the Attestant team and their work. They are: - Ethereum staking experts. Staked since Beacon chain genesis. CTO Jim McDonald @jgm has contributed to the consensus protocol, from design through specs to code. - Open source contributors. Maintains Vouch (multi-node validator client) and Dirk (distributed remote keymanager), which is used by 23% of Lido's node operators. - Engaged community members. Publishes research on client diversity, consensus node performance, mev, restaking, and more. None of this will change post-acquisition. We'll aim to protect and amplify the protocol focus, open source contributions, and community engagement. Over the coming months we'll rebrand Attestant to Bitwise "Onchain Solutions". At Bitwise, our goal remains to be a great partner to clients and good stewards of this ecosystem. Now expanding into non-custodial onchain investments solutions is a step we're thrilled to be taking. Grateful and excited for the journey ahead together with the Attestant team —
