Remote work gives us freedom, but meeting in person gives us energy. Our Obol Labs offsite in Argentina 🇦🇷 reminded us how strong our global team truly is.
Team members from 14 countries, one shared mission.
Proud of the @Obol_Collective crew. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Join us this Friday at 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM MDT
We'll be discussing where community staking is going next, and how the Public Goods Staking Protocol (PGSP) is helping turn Ethereum validator yield into perpetual funding for environmental, science, and social initiatives.

Everyone talks about how AI will replace jobs. But AI is actually making great People leaders more valuable. AI can automate tasks. It can’t build trust, coach managers, shape culture, or lead humans through uncertainty.
As HBR said: “AI won’t replace humans, but humans with AI will replace humans without AI.”
The companies that win won’t just adopt AI faster. They’ll know how to keep humans at the center while doing it.
This week my Obol Agent has;
- Distributed >$10k in stEth to Lido Operators
- Bought 10x long $JAAA RWAs on Uniswap
- Highlighted the gaps in issuance research to 100 Ethereans
- Onboarded 4 more agents to $OBOL by buying their hello world service
Agents are super charging the economy. We're building infrastructure to allow this economy to flourish on decentralised rails.
Give the `obol sell demo` a go, and send me your Obol service links below.
$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!
Last week, @OisinKyne presented EIP-7716 at All Core Devs – Consensus #177.
The Goal?
When centralized (correlated) validators go offline, their downtime penalty should be higher than that of decentralized (uncorrelated) validators.
Uncorrelated failures keep the standard penalty, while Correlated failures may be penalized up to 4x.
This is how we can meaningfully push back against the centralization of staking that Ethereum is experiencing.

Today, the Foundation’s Board released the EF Mandate.
This document, which was first intended for EF members, reaffirms the promise of Ethereum, and the role of EF within this ecosystem.
Introducing ObolClaw: a new framework for leveraging agents on Ethereum with @openclaw.
We’re building the agent economy on Ethereum through the Obol Stack.
We spent December laying the foundations for what will be another landmark year for Obol, Distributed Validators, and Ethereum staking.
2026 is the year the crypto industry learns about the Ethereum staking end game and Obol’s role in it. Learn more below.

Our CTO and co-founder @OisinKyne addressed a packed crowd for two talks at @StakingSummit:
⧫ “The Ethereum Staking End Game” keynote
⧫ “When clients fail, how does the chain survive?” panel w/ @Austin_Federa and @ralexstokes
During these talks and across the event, attendees got a close look at how the Ethereum staking ecosystem is maturing and why Distributed Validators represent the end game.
Thanks to @StakingRewards for the invitation, Austin and Alex for their insights, and everyone who joined us 🙏
