What is the ssv.network’s task? The project aims to simplify the process of creating and running validator nodes on Ethereum’s 2.0 consensus layer. The project was launched after receiving a grant from the Ethereum Foundation in 2021. It is currently at the testnet stage.
ssv.network’s project contributor Eran Efrima said that the $10 million will be used to fund initiatives, collaborations, and future grants for developers and participants.
What are the prospects? Ethereum plans to switch from a Proof-of-Work consensus to a Proof-of-Stake mechanism. The upgrade is expected to be completed in 2022. After that, miners will no longer validate transactions. Instead, the users will be involved in the process, who have to stake a minimum of 32 ETH to run a validator node.
