OKX Announces the Listing of SSV

Cointime Official

VICTORIA, Seychelles, March. 1, 2023 -- OKX, the world-leading cryptocurrency platform announces the listing of SSV, a decentralized staking infrastructure that enables the distributed operation of an Ethereum validator. 

It is achieved by splitting a validator key between four or more non-trusting node instances (‘multi-operator node’). The nodes are collectively tasked with executing the validator's duties under a consensus mechanism. In simple terms, the protocol transforms a validator key into a multi-sig construct governed by a consensus layer.

The unique protocol improves the robustness, liveliness, and fault tolerance of nodes across the Ethereum ecosystem. Distributing validator keys between node instances suggests a major leap forward compared to existing staking schemes that fall short when it comes to:

  • Validator keys can be stored offline
  • Active to active’ redundancy
  • Node instances customizability
  • Threshold signature scheme

ssv.network is the first public implementation of the SSV primitive, which originated as a research piece by the Ethereum Foundation back in 2019 and since then has grown to a DAO-governed, community-driven network of stakers, builders and node operators.

OKX Ventures is among ssv.network’s investors. Founder of OKX Ventures Dora commented, "We are excited to support ssv.network. We are also a founding member of its $50 Million Ecosystem Fund dedicated to supporting the development of Distributed Validator Technology (“DVT”) based applications to usher in the next wave of Ethereum staking technologies."

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
