ECOSYSTEM UPDATES

Obol Network Mainnet Open Beta

Obol Network is set to launch its Mainnet Open Beta on December 1st, allowing anyone to operate distributed validators (DVs) on mainnet. 

The DVs, which distribute a validator's key across multiple nodes, enhance Ethereum’s fault tolerance by ensuring continued validation even if a node in the cluster goes offline. Obol also introduced the Obol SDK, a TypeScript tool for creating and managing DV clusters, and Obol Splits, a series of smart contracts for handling reward, principal, and fee allocation within DV Clusters.

EtherFi eETH Goes Live On Mainnet

EtherFi has launched eETH, its liquid restaked token, in beta on the mainnet. Users who are whitelisted can mint eETH by depositing ETH. 

eETH is natively restaked on EigenLayer, offering higher yields for liquid stakers once Actively Validated Services go live. Early mainnet stakers can earn loyalty points. EtherFi plans to expand eETH minting to all users and integrate it into various DeFi protocols, including Balancer, Aura Finance, Gravita Protocol, Mav Protocol, and Pendle Finance.
