SSV Staking successfully establishes an onchain economic model that is fully aligned with ETH. The system operates through a seamless and transparent cycle. To start, validators settle their required charges using ETH. Additionally, the protocol manages all of its internal accounting strictly in ETH. Because of this structural design, individuals who stake SSV collect their accumulated fees denominated in ETH. Ultimately, this forms a continuous ecosystem loop where active participation by validators generates ETH fees that are directly routed to reward SSV stakers.
The transition to the new model for SSV is making wonderful progress. A remarkable 25% of the migration has already been completed in a brief span of only 2 weeks.
The snapshot process for all SSV holders has officially concluded. Anyone maintaining an SSV balance in their wallet as of April 22 at 12 PM UTC has earned the OG Holder designation, successfully qualifying them for the cSSV Genesis Boost. If you happened to overlook the snapshot deadline, there is no need to worry. You still have the opportunity to participate and can unlock ~25% in boosted rewards. Prepare yourself for what is coming next.
A significant development has arrived for both SSV and the broader Ethereum validator infrastructure. Today, SSV is instrumental in securing nearly 19% of Ethereum validators. As the ecosystem continues to scale, this recent move represents a massive commitment to the upcoming phase of its infrastructure.
The SSV DAO has officially approved DIP-56, which establishes a 2-year agreement with Sigma Prime (@sigp_io), the creators behind the Ethereum Lighthouse client. The core purpose of this partnership is to pursue the ongoing development of Anchor, which serves as the second SSV client.
Under this arrangement, the targeted scope covers essential client maintenance alongside thorough preparation for protocol upgrade readiness. The collaborative effort will also introduce key improvements, facilitate future research, and manage the integration of both DKG and dAppNode.
To learn more, please read the complete proposal and the full scope details provided below.
While a large majority of digital assets focus entirely on their everyday uses, it is quite uncommon to see a project that genuinely drives its utility through its economic structure. SSV is fully prepared to bridge that gap and change the narrative. We are thrilled to present the cSSV Genesis Boost. You can think of this as the ultimate gateway designed to unlock the upcoming era of SSV Staking. Most importantly, it offers a timely opportunity to secure your position just before SSV Staking officially goes live.
The event begins in exactly one hour. We invite you to connect with us on Discord at 12:00 PM UTC for the SSV Community Call. During the session, we will cover recent DAO updates, facilitate group discussions, and host a live Q&A for the community. We hope to see you there, so please use the link provided to join the conversation.
There are exactly 5 hours remaining until our event starts. We warmly invite you to join us on Discord today at 12:00 PM UTC for the SSV Community Call. During our time together, we will review overall DAO updates, open the floor for discussion, and host a Q&A session with the community. We are looking forward to connecting with you.

On April 15, the @ETHCapitalHQ summit will take place at The RAUM in Seoul, and SSV is thrilled to stand as a supporter of this premier event. The gathering is specifically designed to bridge the gap between institutional capital and the latest innovations within Ethereum.
If you happen to be in the area, we warmly invite you to take part in the ongoing dialogue surrounding enterprise Ethereum, stablecoins, DeFi, and RWAs.
Be sure to apply the promotional code SSV320 to receive a 20% discount on your admission. We look forward to connecting with you at the summit.
A massive shoutout goes to @etheconomiczone for their valuable contributions. Although utilizing rollups allowed Ethereum to scale effectively, this transition caused value to migrate away from Layer 1 and introduced a few significant compromises. The network had to navigate disconnected economic structures, an asynchronous user experience, and fractured liquidity. To address these challenges head on, EEZ is building towards rollups that feature synchronous composability while maintaining native Ethereum security. Furthermore, their approach ensures a much tighter economic alignment with L1. All of these efforts are paving the way toward a seamlessly unified Ethereum ecosystem.
A publicly traded corporation in Japan 🇯🇵 has officially integrated SSV-powered DVT into its ETH treasury strategy, representing a tremendous leap forward for institutional ETH adoption across the nation.
This exciting progress is made possible through a collaborative effort involving the SSV Network, @BITPointJP, @P2Pvalidator, and @DefShimomura. Together, these teams are actively introducing robust, institutional-grade ETH staking infrastructure to a fully regulated marketplace.
This development perfectly showcases the practical reality of real-world DVT adoption in action!
The ecosystem takes a dynamic approach to protocol revenue rather than simply allowing funds to pile up. Governed by the DIP-41 framework, exactly 50% of all unclaimed fees are subjected to a continuous, rolling burn mechanism, ensuring value is constantly recycled directly back into the network. As a direct result of this completely transparent, ongoing, and onchain operation, 100K+ SSV has already been successfully burned in 2026.
Get ready for a trip to Cannes. We are excited to distribute 5 full passes to @EthCC, rewarding the highest quality creator-led content focused on SSV Staking.
If you want to secure your spot, your task is to craft an original explanation of SSV Staking. Whether you prefer putting together a short video, designing a visual explainer, or writing an informative thread, the choice is yours. Read through the information below to find all the specific entry details.
During 2025, validator activity drove SSV to generate $2M+ in actual fees. This achievement is grounded entirely in reality, remaining completely separate from token emissions or speculative assumptions. The SSV Staking mechanism is specifically designed so that these exact protocol fees are distributed straight to the people staking. As a result, the system operates entirely without artificial yields or inflationary models, delivering only authentic revenue directly from the protocol.
Ethereum grows significantly stronger when its staking ecosystem is widely distributed. Today, more than 17% of all Ethereum validators are supported by the DVT infrastructure from SSV Network. This level of adoption is crucial for minimizing single points of failure and enhancing the overall resilience of the network. We send a huge thank you to every partner and supporter who has been part of this effort. Our shared mission continues to move forward.
Have you ever considered the consequences of a flawed client causing an overwhelming majority of Ethereum validators to secure an incorrect fork? An incident closely resembling this scenario took place not too long ago on the Hoodi testnet.
To address such vulnerabilities, fresh research authored by Gal Rogozinski (@rogogalgal) from SSV Labs investigates the potential of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) to function as a protective barrier. The study explains that DVT could empower validator clusters to identify questionable forks and consequently withhold their attestations.
This represents a highly promising approach to bolstering the structural resilience of Ethereum.
We invite you to review the complete findings and contribute your thoughts to the ongoing conversation.
The reliability of Ethereum's top staking infrastructure relies heavily on the perfection of its programming. Should you identify a security flaw, we encourage you to come forward. By reporting vulnerabilities through @immunefi, you are eligible for rewards reaching up to $1,000,000. Join us in ensuring the SSV Network remains robust to support the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
We have officially wrapped up the cSSV Alpha Testers campaign. Our team wants to express sincere appreciation to the community for the impressive level of engagement and the helpful feedback provided. Please note that operations on the SSV Staking testnet are still active, and your ongoing input remains essential to us.
Only 1 hour remains until the cSSV Alpha Testers campaign concludes. ⏳ Please ensure that you complete the SSV Staking testnet flow and share your feedback prior to the 2 PM UTC deadline.
