Enhanced staking with Obol: higher performance, lower risk
By adopting Obol’s DVS, Swell is upgrading its staking infrastructure with a multi-operator cluster. This approach increases the resilience of validators by reducing single points of failure and distributing key management responsibilities across multiple operators. The integration improves uptime, reduces the risk of penalties and enhances overall security.
OBOL’s distributed key generation (DKG) technology increases validator efficiency, ensures continuous operation, and reduces potential thrashing risks. Improved responsiveness and reliability of the verification device allows SWELL users to expect higher staking yields. Furthermore, future incentives from Obol Collective could potentially increase profits.
A step forward for Ethereum staking
This integration represents a critical step to improving Ethereum’s staking infrastructure. Swell’s Liquid Restaken Protocol and Obol’s DVS are combined to provide a safer, more efficient and rewarding staking experience. As liquid staking continues to evolve, such partnerships will strengthen the importance of decentralization and security in the Ethereum ecosystem.
With the integration of Obol’s distributed validators, Swell is strengthening its staking infrastructure to improve security, performance, and rewards. This collaboration takes a step forward in distributed staking, enhancing Ethereum’s resilience while optimizing user benefits.
