Case Studies // 2026

Production deployments,
not prototypes.

Protocol-level case studies drawn from our public track record — each one with an independent source you can verify. Client-specific deployments are available under NDA.

01/Ethereum · Liquid Staking

Five Lido DVT clusters under one operator.

Lido Finance is the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum. Its Simple DVT Module admits only operators that pass a technical and governance bar and sign an on-chain acceptance of the operating rules. We are signed into five such clusters — four with Obol Network, one with SSV Network.

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle network, powering the majority of decentralized finance and now adopted by financial institutions such as Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS and ANZ for tokenised assets, onchain NAV and cross-chain settlement. We have been a Node Operator on Chainlink since September 2, 2020 and a listed Channel Partner in Chainlink Labs' partner programme.

03/Ethereum · DVT early phase

1,001 validators on Obol, in under 48 hours.

During Obol Network's public testing phase, we deployed our first Distributed Validator cluster — 1,001 validators with a 3-of-4 signing threshold, brought up in less than 48 hours. After one round of fine-tuning alongside the Obol team, the cluster's missed-attestation count dropped to zero.

04/Ethereum · SSV Launch Partner

SSV Network launch partner — 99.78% uptime in month one.

We were a launch partner with SSV Network during its permissioned phase, before the network transitioned to permissionless operation. Our first 30 days of operations delivered 99.78% uptime. We subsequently co-operated a public staking pool with a minimum of 0.01 ETH alongside Everstake, Forbole, P2P Validator and CryptoManufaktur.
