Deep dives

Distributed Validator Technology (DVT)

DVT allows for running Ethereum validators on multiple machines, providing fault tolerance and improving uptime for solo stakers. It enables different combinations of node operators, such as professional operators, solo stakers, and DAOs, to participate in the network. The staking router in Lido V2 serves as a framework for designing validator sets, allowing for the creation of modules that can be attached to the Lido protocol. Each module can have customized bonding requirements, risks, and rewards, providing flexibility and catering to different operator types.
