Hord has advanced its Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) integration, solidifying its position in Ethereum staking.
Initially announced in September 2024 with one validator node running on DVT powered by SSV Network, Hord now operates 25 validators on DVT or roughly 38%. Moving forward, new Hord validators will leverage a hybrid approach, running on both DVT and EigenLayer.
DVT enhances Ethereum validators by distributing validation tasks across multiple nodes, increasing uptime and fault tolerance. By sharing responsibilities among operators, DVT reduces slashing risks while improving security through the distribution of private keys across a cluster of nodes. This distributed approach also lowers infrastructure costs by allowing validators to utilize multiple lower-cost nodes.
In parallel, EigenLayer integration complements Hord's staking infrastructure by enabling restaking mechanisms. This allows validators to reuse staked ETH across multiple protocols, boosting capital efficiency and unlocking additional revenue streams through Actively Validated Services (AVSs). Validators can now allocate resources flexibly and support innovative new protocols, contributing to Ethereum’s expanding ecosystem.
Together, DVT and EigenLayer integrations position Hord as a cutting-edge staking platform, offering robust security, increased rewards, and improved capital efficiency for its community.
