Validation Cloud is excited to continue to build alongside the Obol Collective, the leading community behind Distributed Validators (DVs). Through our partnership, we’ve continued to upgrade our staking infrastructure to include Obol Distributed Validators, unlocking new benefits for our users and now even more rewards. Obol recently launched the Obol Incentives Program, which allows users to earn OBOL tokens for staking on distributed validators. Validation Cloud is proud to be a launch partner for the Incentives Program, offering highly performant, secure, and reliable access to staking DVs.
Why Validation Cloud Integrated Distributed Validators
Validation Cloud is a long-time supporter of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks and is constantly looking to contribute to the latest innovations in Web3. It quickly became clear to the Validation Cloud team that Distributed Validators have the potential to radically change how consensus layer infrastructure is deployed and managed. We believe DVs will drive an exponential increase in validator capacity, enabling the ideal balance between performance and decentralization.
Benefits of DVs for Validation Cloud Users
-
Better Performance
-
DVs optimize uptime and fault tolerance, leading to more efficient and reliable staking infrastructure, which helps improve validator performance.
-
Obol DVs improve Validation Cloud’s ability to deploy validators on demand via automated, multi-regional deployments.
-
-
Less Risks
-
DVs have a built-in Distributed Key Generation Ceremony that helps to improve the security of private keys. In addition, DVs lower the need to run numerous passive backups, which in traditional validator setups can create unnecessary slashing tail risks.
-
By distributing validator responsibilities to a cluster of nodes, Obol DVs remove a single point of failure at the validator level, ensuring higher levels of security and resiliency.

-
More Rewards
- Higher validator uptime and efficiency mean more staking rewards for users. Additionally, the OBOL Incentives program allows Validation Cloud to earn additional rewards, maximizing staking earnings for users while contributing to Ethereum’s decentralization.
