SSV.Network DAO recently launched a US$50 million ecosystem fund dedicated to supporting the development of applications based on Distributed Validator Technology (Distributed Validator Technology), which is Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's Ethereum Go A key component of the centralization roadmap, SSV.Network hopes to use the grant funds to further solidify DVT as a key Ethereum infrastructure.
SSV.Network is a fully decentralized open source Ethereum staking protocol jointly developed by the Ethereum secret sharing validator network Obol and the non-custodial Ethereum 2.0 staking protocol Blox. SSV can be distributed in a secure way on untrusted nodes or Splitting validator keys between operators while maintaining distributed control and activity of Ethereum validators, a safe and robust method for ETH staking, currently SSV.Network is in the testnet stage. The recent Shifu V2 release of SSV.Network will allow upgraded nodes to formally participate in all responsibilities used in Ethereum consensus.
Staking Pool：Operators, partners, and grant recipients constitute the basic ecosystem of SSV, and there are currently more than 20 projects built on top of DVT.
The staking pool model of SSV.Network is mostly based on integrated protocols. Among the officially certified projects, there is no native staking pool project. Among the Staking pool projects under construction based on the SSV network, Staking pools led by Swell Network, ANKR, Spectrum, Steader, etc. have launched the function of staking on SSV.Network, while Chainup, Shard Labs, Moonstake, Infinite Lux, 01 Node, Onestar, Blockscape, tardust and other projects have not yet launched or will soon launch the staking function on SSV.Network.

XHash：Pledge service
Forbole：Blox is a non-custodial ETH staking platform, which claims to be the first non-custodial staking solution of Ethereum. The native Token is CDT, which is launched in two phases. The team previously established and operated Blox Finance, and after receiving funding from the Ethereum Foundation, Blox developed an SSV node for Ethereum staking. The user needs to prepare 32 ETH and the cloud account created by the user when staking Blox. The pledger needs to pay a certain fee for the cloud service every month. The project party will not take away the rewards obtained by the user's pledge. Unlimited quantity.
CryptoManufaktur：There is no custodial enterprise-level pledge service provider on SSV, and users can pledge assets in a non-custodial form. XHash will eventually charge nearly 9% of the staking income as a fee. Currently, there are more than 1,100 verifiers and more than 35,000 ETH are staking on XHash.
Founded in 2020, the company provides various price feeds in the Chainlink ecosystem, and later joined the Ethereum ecosystem, cooperated with the Ethereum Foundation to provide a test solution for the beacon chain, and cooperated with Blox to carry out their DV (Distributed Validator) project, which is currently active on the Prater test network.

Hal：Observability and Tools
FileDrive Labs：Hal, an information notification application for Web3, currently has over 20,000 users. Users can use the application to query and monitor data of multiple blockchain networks including SSV.Network, and can get notifications by email, Telegram, Discord, Twitter, Slack or Webhook at the first time.
The decentralized storage project funded by SSV aims to enable everyone to benefit from distributed storage and build high-performance, user-friendly and scalable storage infrastructure and applications.

Carrier Node Integration
SSV.Network dominates the network with an integrated protocol, which may be related to the fact that SSV itself is not directly oriented to C-end users, but more service targets are pledge service providers, node operators and centralized exchanges. However, another big advantage of SSV.Network is that it is good at working with decentralized autonomous organizations. The DAO Partner Program launched at the end of 2021 has already attracted the participation of Digital Currency Grup, Coinbase, OKX Ventures, NGC Ventures, Allnodes, RockX, AMBER, and Skillz. The service provided by SSV.Network is equivalent to outsourcing, helping them reduce the cost of using the infrastructure when staking.
