SSV is a Distributed Validator Network that makes staking Ethereum more resilient and fault-tolerant by distributing validator duties to trusted node operators.  **Why Stake via SSV Distributed Validators** Distributed Validators divide an Ethereum validator’s responsibilities across multiple node operators, enhancing resilience, security, and decentralization. Custodians can now offer clients the ability to stake Ethereum via SSV's Distributed Validators. This will allow clients to efficiently enhance resilience, security, and decentralization, all while earning boosted total returns on their ETH via SSV tokens. Validation Cloud maintains the highest levels of performance and resilience for its validators. Validators are run in clusters of four independent node operators on the SSV Network, which ensures validator operations are never interrupted: if one operator goes down, other operators are in place to keep ETH validators running smoothly. Less downtime = more rewards. ##### **How to Stake ETH via SSV Distributed Validators** Users can stake Ethereum via SSV Distributed Validators easily and securely on Validation Cloud’s staking platform. You can choose from Ethereum Mainnet or the Hoodi Testnet. Once you’ve connected your wallet, you can select the number of validators you would like to create and toggle on “Use SSV Distributed Staking.” By selecting SSV Distributed Staking, you are opting into using Distributed Validator Technology and will get the opportunity to earn SSV tokens. You also have the option to stake via Validation Cloud’s Ethereum Staking API.
