Are there distributed validators running on Ethereum Mainnet today?

5 points

Yes

Clear selection

If DVT becomes the future standard of validators, these types of node operators will increase as a result:

5 points

Communities

Single entities

Clear selection

What is the drawback of having an active-passive setup of validator nodes?

6 points

It can possibly incur more hardware costs if backup nodes are needed to accompany active nodes.

It enables the possibility of double signing, which can lead to risk of slashing.

It requires more maintenance and time on behalf of the node operator and can incur more working stress.

All of the above

None of the above

What is the DV Middleware created by Obol called?

5 points

Athena

Charon

Bia

Obol

Clear selection

What is used to allow nodes within a DV cluster to identify to one another such that they can form clusters with the right nodes and not impostors?

6 points

Ethereum Node Record

Validator Private Key Shares

Ethereum Wallet Address

IP Address

Clear selection

What is the significance of the DV Launchpad?

6 points

It enables developers to integrate Obol DVs into a wide range of staking products.

It allows someone or a group of people to start a DV cluster.

It enables Obol DV users to manage and automate the splitting of rewards, principal, and fees amongst node operators within an Obol DV cluster.

It automatically matches you to a new node operator to create a DV cluster.

Clear selection

Can a DV cluster be run by a single operator?

5 points

Yes

Clear selection

Who can benefit from DVs?

5 points

At-Home Validators

Liquid Staking Protocols

Professional Validators/Staking-as-a-Service Providers

Staking Insurance Providers

Token Holders/Custodians

All the above

None of the above

Clear selection

What is a DV Cluster?

5 points

A group of validators in a liquid staking pool

A single instance of Ethereum Execution Layer + Consensus Layer clients that can communicate with other nodes to maintain the Ethereum blockchain

A node that participates in the consensus process by verifying transactions and creating new blocks

A group of nodes that act together as one or several validators

Clear selection

What IS NOT a key benefit of DVs for at-home validators?

5 points

Improves fault tolerance

Allows multiple individuals to run a validator together

Allows multiple people to pool their ETH to meet the minimum bonding requirements

Allows validators to be run at home with no maintenance whatsoever

Clear selection

Please share with us the ETH address that you will use / are using to participate in the Credential Program *

What is one of the main benefits of DVs for liquid staking protocols?

5 points

Allows multi-operator setups which reduce operator risk

Improves the usability of LSP for stakers

Allows for restaking to improve yield

Limits the number of operators needed to provide a secure product

Clear selection

How does DVT enable more solo staking?

5 points

It lowers the financial barrier of solo staking to below 32 ETH

Enables trustlessness by giving solo staker in a DV cluster a key share instead of an entire validator key

It enables solo stakers to come from different geographical and economic backgrounds around the world

It enables solo stakers to join DV clusters with more experienced node operators to reduce learning curves

All of the above

None of the above

Please share with us your Discord name tag *

Choose all of the following areas that DVT can help to decentralise:

5 points

Geography

Client

Type of Node Operator

Stake

All of the Above

None of the Above

What is/are the benefit(s) of the active-active setup that DVT enables?

6 points

Node operators can relax more and "stake and sleep" with more regular working hours

Not all of the nodes in a DV cluster need to be online for the cluster to continue to verify transactions and propose new blocks.

Node operators of the DV cluster do not have to communicate with each other

Fault tolerance is increased

Slashing risk is significantly decreased

All of the above

None of the above

What is the name of the ceremony that generates the key shares in a distributed validator?

5 points

Distributed Key Generation Ceremony

Decentralised Key Generation Ceremony

Key Splitting Ceremony

Distributed Key Creation Ceremony

Clear selection

What is the main significance of the Obol Open Beta Mainnet launch?

5 points

It allows anyone to run at DV clusters that are capped at 2 validators per cluster

It allows anyone to run at DV clusters that have at least 3 members per cluster

It allows anyone to run DVs on Ethereum testnet

It allows anyone to run DVs on Ethereum Mainnet

Clear selection

Why is it important to find your own DV Cluster members for this current version of Obol DVs?

6 points

To be able to alert them easily and quickly when their nodes are down

To make sure they are reliable and do not lose their keys

To be able to store their key shares for them when necessary

To be able to easily resolve any shared issues within your cluster

To be able to effectively communicate with them for all operational reasons

All of the above

None of the above

Wich cluster size is NOT optimal for a DV ?

5 points

Clear selection

What is Distributed Validator Technology?

5 points

A network that allows validators to communicate faster with each other around the world

A liquid staking protocol that runs with primarily at-home validators as operators

An infrastructure primitive that allows a single validator to be run across multiple nodes

A best practice guide on how to run validators in a distributed way
