<p><br>The previous <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/how-firedancer-impacts-solana-ecosystem/">article</a> discussed why PoS networks strive for multiple validation clients and how Firedancer helps secure Solana. Below, <strong>we will share our experience of running Firedancer in Testnet.</strong> We will run through the official documentation for building Firedancer, monitoring options, compatibility with our current infrastructure, and check the client's stability.</p><h2 id="what-is-frankendancer">What is Frankendancer?</h2><p>During the Solana Breakpoint 2023 event, it was announced that āFrankendancerā (Firedancer with runtime and consensus modules borrowed from Solana labs client) successfully acts as a validator node in the Solana Testnet. We were excited about this announcement and the rest of the community. </p><p>The Firedancer team provides great build & run documentation, which can be found <a href="https://firedancer-io.github.io/firedancer/guide/getting-started.html?ref=p2p.org">here</a>. The documentation is decent, so we donāt think it is necessary to repeat it here. You must update your Linux kernel to<em> >5.7</em> to successfully build Firedancer (it should not be a problem even on Ubuntu 20 since its mainline repo contains this kernel). We successfully built Firedancer on top of our test server with Ubuntu 20.04. </p><h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2><p>In contrast to the Solana Labs client, Firedancer uses a toml configuration formatāsome configuration directives bypass Solana Lab components so that you can use this feature in your favor. For example, you can bypass only the public key of your vote key with a directive <code>vote_account_path</code> and keep your vote key out of a server with a validator in a safe place. The key configuration section may look like this:</p><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><pre><code>[consensus] identity_path = "~/identity-keypair.json" vote_account_path = "DGjZLMwYmQU7vCPqyTxdnyKwaf1uu8eMdLeSmzqv2SZj" </code></pre> <!--kg-card-end: markdown--><p>If you have experience running the Solana Labs client, the basic config for Firedancer will not raise many questions for you except for section layout. Letās revise the āmust-haveā minimum options of this section:</p><p><code>affinity</code> - number or range of logical CPUs available for Firedancer. According to documentation, it is advised to allocate some cores for Solana Labs client and the rest for Firedancer. We had 32 cores on the server, enough to provide up to 9 cores to make Firedancer work (affinity = ā0-27ā). We also tried to play with <code>affinity</code> directive and found that Firedancer starts successfully with 12 cores at least.</p><p><code>net_tile_count</code> refers to the number of network queues on your network card. You need to adjust this directive precisely to the amount of network queues exposed by the network driver to OS. If <code>net_tile_count</code> exceeds the number of network queues, you will lose some cores for nothing. If <code>net_tile_count</code><em> </em>is lower than the number of network queues, Firedancer starts losing traffic (higher skip rate, lower vote success, etc.).</p><p><code>verify_tile_count</code> - in the official documentation, it is said that this directive controls how many tiles are dedicated to transaction signature verification. In our case, the command <code>/opt/fdctl configure init all --config /home/firedancer/config.toml</code> crashed if <code>verify_tile_count</code> was not equal to <code>net_tile_count</code><em>, </em>and as a consequence, Firedancer could not be started.</p><p>To figure out the number of network queues, you will first need to get the name of your network interface by using the commands <code>ip address</code> or <code>ifconfig</code><em>. </em>After that, you can use the utility <code>ethtool</code> to retrieve the number of network queues:</p><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><pre><code># ethtool -l {network_interface_name} | grep -A4 "Current hardware settings" Current hardware settings: RX:āā 0 TX:āā 0 Other:āā 0 Combined:ā2 </code></pre> <!--kg-card-end: markdown--><p>If you didnāt apply special tuning to your network stack you likely see a count of network queues in row <strong>Combined.</strong> </p><h2 id="startup-unit">Startup unit</h2><p>If you plan to run Firedancer for an extended period, you will probably need configuration for the process manager. You are likely using Systemd, so we are happy to share our Systemd unit for Firedancer, which we used for running our instance of Firedancer in Testnet:</p><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><pre><code>[Unit] Description=Firedancer Validator Service After=network.target [Service] ExecStartPre=/opt/fdctl configure init all --config /home/firedancer/config.toml ExecStart=/opt/fdctl run --config /home/firedancer/config.toml ExecStop=/opt/fdctl stop Restart=on-failure LimitNOFILE=100000 LimitNPROC=100000 LimitCORE=infinity [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target </code></pre> <!--kg-card-end: markdown--><p>It is a very basic Systemd unit without hardening, so it is not production-ready and works for testing only. If you plan to use this Systemd unit, you need to adjust paths of config and fdctl in your environment. It is worth mentioning that Firedancer requires root rights for starting, so it makes no sense to run this unit under a non-root user. After starting the application and configuring the necessary system parameters, Firedancer will downgrade its privileges to the user specified in the configuration file. Note that the <code>configure</code> command must be executed before each Firedancer startup and after each system restart.</p><h2 id="monitoring">Monitoring</h2><p>Next, we would like to discuss monitoring-related questions. Solana Labs provides CLI utilities for monitoring validators, but there is no built-in Prometheus target (Prometheus is the de facto standard nowadays). We developed an in-house Prometheus exporter to monitor our Solana nodes (both validators and RPC), and we were thrilled to see that our prom exporter could fetch all metrics from Firedancer RPC with no issues and no changes required (you can find our Grafana dashboard with metrics fetched from Firedancer on Picture 1). Presumably, it happened because of the implementation of the REST-API interface located in one of Solana Labs' modules integrated into Firedancer. Firedancer is not equipped with tools for monitoring the node's performance in the cluster. However, it was announced that some monitoring tools will be added in the future. Before that, you can use Solana CLI tools to monitor Firedancer (<code>solana-validator Ā --ledger={ledger_path} monitor</code> or <code>solana catchup --our-localhost --follow</code>); we checked it works smoothly.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/XmSQkFhG28aB9ttyhH7mf1L1Zjvsgl31N7kygVfA5Q0EUp7rGhIlMOjvjBmaKTITc8fCaLGE-PHnHpuXfYjQP4w-dhbNpEdxOtJOX2UW4uziiOCJeDqPZzpeu_KrmYeo68BHmsIkWPuqV-DN5raMWA4" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="602" height="717"></figure><h2 id="results">Results</h2><p>We ran the Firedancer client (version <em>1.17.1004</em>) on our Testnet validator for 4 days, and no accidental crashes were observed. It would be great to run some performance tests (Solana Labs client vs Firedancer). Still, it doesn't make much sense because Firedancer performance will be bottlenecked on the runtime/consensus stage. </p><p>Solana Validator has an āon-the-flyā key change capability, which we often use in our work. We asked the Firedancer developers about this feature, and they said it's not in the plans right now. Still, they have a long-term idea to make restarts as fast as possible so you can restart with the new identity key rather than trying to support dynamic configuration.</p><p>We are delighted to confirm that Frankendancer can act as a Solana validator at this stage! It feels like Jump Trading invested a lot of work and passion in creating Firedancer, and we in P2P appreciated it so much. P2P validator has been validator in Solana almost from the start of mainnet, and the upcoming Firedancer release in mainnet feels like one of the most significant events in Solana's ecosystem. It is a big step forward for the whole Solana community, and we look forward to testing out genuine Firedancer (with no Solana Labs client as a dependency) later next year.</p><p><em>Authors:</em><br><em>Anton Yakovlev Lead SRE @ P2P validator Solana team</em><br><em>Ilya Shatalov DevOps Engineer @ P2P validator Solana team</em></p><p><br></p>

The DVT Staking API is engineered for simplicity, offering a streamlined workflow to accommodate the diverse needs of custodians, wallets, and neo-banks. Our API acts as a bridge, simplifying the navigation of DVT staking and ensuring a seamless transition into decentralized staking. Our mission is to facilitate integration and offer cost-saving benefits to users who integrate with us.</p><h3 id="the-integration">The Integration</h3><p>The integration of DVT with our platform paves the way for a new era of Ethereum staking. Our platform provides a unique opportunity to stake directly with multiple institutional node operators, such as Allnodes, Stakely, and HTX, offering their own nodes operating on DVT. This initiative enables institutions to harness the full potential of decentralized staking through various experienced operators, each bringing a wealth of experience working with institutional entities, high-performance nodes, and best-in-class security practices to ensure node liveness. Our coordinated effort ensures a geographically distributed node operation with one node in the US, two in the EU, and one in APAC, significantly mitigating the risks associated with downtime due to country-specific incidents. Moreover, by supporting a broad spectrum of execution and consensus clients, we foster Ethereum client diversity, further eliminating reliance on the point of failure. This well-rounded approach significantly elevates the robustness and reliability of the P2Porg staking platform. It underscores our position as a leader in advancing the staking paradigm alongside industry leaders who share our vision.</p><p>Allnodes Founder & CEO Konstantin Boyko-Romanovsky told P2P.org, "Allnodes is dedicated to advancing the staking ecosystem, and our partnership with P2P.org through their DVT Staking API aligns with our commitment. We believe DVT represents a significant step forward in mitigating inherent staking risks like slashing and counterparty exposure - paramount concerns for ETH staking. The DVT framework complements our mission to deliver secure and efficient staking to institutions. By collaborating with P2P.org, we can integrate their healthy platform and progressive technology to benefit clients through a decentralized, resilient staking infrastructure. Our partnership is about more than enhancing our services; it's about shaping the future of institutional staking and contributing to a more secure, decentralized blockchain ecosystem."</p><p>Stakely Co-founder Ignacio Iglesias said, "Stakely's collaboration with P2P.org, employing Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) in the Ethereum staking ecosystem, marks a pivotal advancement towards a more secure and decentralized staking infrastructure, specially tailored for institutional clients. DVT aligns with our commitment to providing robust, non-custodial staking services for institutions by mitigating risks such as slashing and single-point failures through distributed key management. This approach ensures security and reliability and fosters decentralization by utilizing diverse Ethereum clients and operating across various geographical regions, further strengthening the resilience and integrity of the Ethereum network."</p><p>The Head of HTX Web3 Technology, Token Xi, stated: "HTX staking is committed to advancing the overall ETH stake ecosystem towards greater security and decentralization. Our collaboration with P2P.org in developing DVT StakeAPI aligns with our expectations for the positive growth of the entire industry ecosystem. As a deep partner of the official SSV, HTX has long supported the development of SSV, from testnet to mainnet, as a core validator node operator. Through the SSV network, we have reduced the risk of single points of failure, thereby better securing our users' assets. Additionally, the decentralized nature of SSV allows our users to enjoy the safety benefits of decentralization while promoting the decentralization of the entire ETH ecosystem."</p><p>Our collaboration with the ssv network has been long-running; as one of their Mainnet Verified Operators, we've been working closely with the ssv network to redefine Ethereum staking with the integration of DVT into the P2P.org platform via our new Staking API thanks to a grant awarded to us.

The general reasons are as follows:</p><ul><li>Builders strive for inclusion and need to raise their stakes to outperform competitors in a dynamic block auction occurring on relays.</li><li>The market landscape updates more frequently than the Ethereum block time, causing the potential extracted value to fluctuate as time passes and more information/order flow becomes available.</li></ul><p>Several examples illustrate these points:</p><ul><li>A new DEX swap in the mempool creates a new MEV opportunity.</li><li>Changes in the USDC/ETH price on some centralized exchanges (CEX) just after the slot starts can lead to arbitrage opportunities on decentralized exchanges (DEX) before they disappear in the next slot.</li></ul><h3 id="looking-for-the-golden-mean-in-delaying-mev-request">Looking for the golden mean in delaying MEV request</h3><p>Historical data shows that waiting more time before requesting MEV may increase block rewards up to 15% on average. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2023/11/Untitled--1-.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1868" height="998" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2023/11/Untitled--1-.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2023/11/Untitled--1-.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2023/11/Untitled--1-.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2023/11/Untitled--1-.png 1868w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>However we canāt delay the MEV request too much for two reasons:</p><ol><li>The validator has 4 seconds to request/receive bids, sign the block, and send it to the MEV relay, leaving enough time for block propagation within the network.

<p>Firedancer's testnet launch was announced at Solana's Breakpoint conference, marking a significant milestone in Solana's journey toward global adoption. Let's explore its purpose and understand why it is essential to transition towards multiple validation clients, thereby enhancing network security and stability.</p><h2 id="benefits-of-multiple-validation-clients"><strong>Benefits of Multiple Validation Clients</strong></h2><p>Generally, any PoS network would like to have more than one client, and clients must be developed by independent teams using different programming stacks because of security and stability matters. The Proof of Stake (PoS) network will benefit from two separate validation clients. Still, the benefits will increase with more clients and more evenly distributed stake among them.</p><p>You may wonder what number of validation clients are counted as decent for the PoS network, and this is an excellent question. We believe resilience and reliability are the most important things for the Solana ecosystem. From that perspective, the Solana cluster must "survive" the outage of one validation client, which means there should not be more than 33.3% of stake on each validation client because if there is more stake, it will cause a halt of the cluster because of BFT consensus. Thus, the mandatory condition to sustain the outage of one validation client is to have four clients in the cluster with ~25% of a stake each (again, it should not be more than 33.3%). To secure the network, the cluster must have a fairly distributed stake across all available validation clients. It looks like a challenge to achieve this for different reasons.</p><h2 id="solana-validation-client-diversity"><strong>Solana Validation Client Diversity</strong></h2><p>Currently, the Solana ecosystem offers 2 production-ready clients:</p><p>1. Solana labs client (<a href="https://github.com/solana-labs/client?ref=p2p.org">https://github.com/solana-labs/client</a> )</p><p>2. Jito Labs MEV-enabled client (<a href="https://github.com/jito-labs/client?ref=p2p.org">https://github.com/jito-labs/client</a>)</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2023/11/firedancer-2-A.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2023/11/firedancer-2-A.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2023/11/firedancer-2-A.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2023/11/firedancer-2-A.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2023/11/firedancer-2-A.jpg 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Although Jito Labs is an independent team, technically, the Solana client built by Jito represents a set of patches applied on top of the vanilla Solana Labs client. Currently, <a href="https://reports.p2p.org/superset/dashboard/jito_client_adoption/?native_filters_key=AcrJWCtZSXOF6QXvAhpOh5FKzgWiav7bjqfwzV8ipRkPiiXMKTAQ58DAKmfRKb7h&ref=p2p.org">42.5% of the stake is working on the Jito client</a>, which already includes two clients and two teams, which undoubtedly increases efficiency. However, both clients will be affected by almost the same set of bugs, including security vulnerabilities of the Rust compiler and Rust dependencies used for building the executable binaries. This situation is undesirable for the Solana ecosystem, which is heading to get its place as a PoS network ready to run world-level enterprise applications!</p><h2 id="introduction-of-firedancer">Introduction of Firedancer</h2><p>A new client for Solana called Firedancer was announced in 2022 and made a splash in Breakpoint 2022 when Firedancer engineering team lead Kevin Bowers from Jump Trading presented Firedancer, working progress, and exciting insights regarding performance optimizations applied in Firedancer. Letās quickly review the high-level attributes of Firedancer:</p><p>- Written in C language</p><p>- Client development funded and guided by an independent company (Jump Trading/Jump Crypto)</p><p>It must be mentioned that Firedancer is designed to be highly efficient in utilizing hardware at 100% and, as a result, to bump TPS up to 1M (which is frankly insane).</p><p>Considering everything we discussed above, it is fair to say that Firedancer will be the first genuine new client developed from scratch by an independent team. Once itās released, it secures the network significantly. For example, suppose there is a bug discovered, a security vulnerability, or performance degradation related to the Solana labs client; the validators can agree to move temporarily to the Firedancer client to give time to Solana labs to troubleshoot the problem and provide enough time to make a well-tested patch. Having several validation clients gives more opportunities to provide decent service for end users, so we strive to see Firedancer adoption in the Solana cluster.<br></p><p>*Authors: Anton Yakovlev Lead SRE @ P2P Solana team*<br></p>

<p><strong>We're excited to share an update for the Polkadot Crowdloan Unlock and how our users can maximize their staking returns by allocating unlocked DOT with </strong><a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org"><strong>P2P.org</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p>Polkadot's structure allows parachains to gather tokens for auction bids through crowdloans. Contributors to these crowdloans have their DOT tokens locked until the end of the lease period once a parachain wins, receiving the parachain's native tokens as rewards.</p><p>Notably, October 24, 2023, marks a significant date when a substantial volume of DOTs, previously committed to supporting parachains, will be released:</p><ul><li><strong>Acala:</strong> 32M DOT</li><li><strong>Astar:</strong> 10M DOT</li><li><strong>Clover:</strong> 9M DOT</li><li><strong>Moonbeam:</strong> 35M DOT</li><li><strong>Parallel:</strong> 10M DOT</li></ul><p>The upcoming unlock represents a unique opportunity for DOT holders, especially those eligible to claim from the various parachains, to maximize their rewards with <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.ORG</a>. Contributing natively on Polkadot ensures an automatic unlocking and redistribution of your DOT to your wallet.</p><p><strong>What is the current rewards APR in Polkadot?</strong></p><p>The network's average APR is roughly 19% before any fee deductions. However, the referendum 166, which successfully passed on November 14, proposes adjusting the optimal staking rate from 52% to 60%. With the staking rate now around 48%, this new measure could potentially increase the rewards ratio by an additional 5%, making staking to Polkadot more attractive.</p><p><strong>Why Stake with <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.ORG</a>?</strong></p><p><a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a> stands out as an experienced validator operator within the network, offering nominators exceptional performance.

<p>P2P.org is delighted to announce our strategic partnership as large-scale alpha-testers with Obol Network. This collaboration aligns us with a company that shares our vision for revolutionizing the decentralized staking landscape and driving the institutional adoption of ETH staking. <br></p><p>In this blog, we'll explore who Obol Network are, their groundbreaking contributions to Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), and how our united mission and values are redefining the standards for institutional Ethereum staking.<br></p><p><strong>Our Collaboration on Mainnet Alpha Distributed Validators</strong><br></p><p>Alongside Obol Network, we have been an integral part of a pivotal testing phase in the Ethereum staking community. Obol Network launched their Alpha phase in April this year, deploying the first set of Mainnet Distributed Validators initiated by the staking community. With their core team having laid the foundation in December 2022 by deploying the very first Mainnet DV, the participation since April has been nothing short of phenomenal. Over 45 organizations are now running Distributed Validators (DVs) on the Ethereum Mainnet in either solo or multi-org clusters.<br></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/OjSs_U9tzrjilyZ-liIGwhIU14ut0KYn6P_BgomZrLnile1PYmWE5Oo-4jSthTgotkcaw7GlUO2LPzpfJkDQYQ12VldyBOWPNnnvKISrpZKWAWt7vxgExYJ35igfJCAuoxtaJmRLCEJHqCIrzc34uZg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="602" height="339"></figure><p><br></p><p><strong>Who is Obol Network?</strong><br></p><p>The Obol Network is an ecosystem for trust-minimized staking that enables people to create, test, run & coordinate distributed validators, focusing on Ethereum staking solutions. <br></p><p>According to their website, their mission is to foster trust minimized staking through multi-operator validation. This will enable low-trust access to Ethereum staking, which can be used as a core building block in various Web3 products.<br></p><p>With their open-source ethos and commitment to public good, Obol is breaking the norm. Fee collections from Obol V1 will be funneled into retroactive public goods funding, embodying a regenerative circular economics model. In simple terms, Obol is about as trust-minimized as it gets, using advanced cryptography to eliminate the need to trust any single staking operator.<br></p><p><strong>A Deep Dive into the Testing Structure</strong><br></p><p>Our collaborative efforts have also extended into in-depth testing structures. Currently, we're actively involved in deploying distributed validator clusters on the Gƶrli testnet, with varying node counts and scaling up to thousands of validators per cluster. These comprehensive tests assess various key metrics, including the effectiveness of validator duties, missed duties, and inclusion distances, among others. Additionally, the studies are focused on evaluating the operational cost efficiencies of running Distributed Validator clusters and the impact of MEV-boost on these configurations.<br></p><p>Obol Labs, the core research and development team for the Obol Network, is working closely with us and other participants to compile performance reports, making the data accessible for further insights. These collaborative research efforts are pivotal for understanding the cost per validator in different infrastructural setups and assessing the impact of DVT on enterprise validator profitability.<br></p><p>Through this extensive and rigorous testing, both P2P.org and Obol Network are gathering the critical data needed to deploy distributed validators on the Ethereum mainnet with complete confidence. We are committed to helping our partners optimize their infrastructure, better understand DV's capabilities, and share key performance insights with the broader community.<br></p><p><strong>What is DVT? </strong><br></p><p>So, what's all the fuss about Distributed Validator Technology? Traditional validator nodes in the Ethereum network present a critical weaknessāthey are all single points of failure. Obol DVs eliminate this Achilles heel by allowing multiple nodes to perform the duties of an Ethereum validator as a cluster. This innovation leads to an exceptional boost in resilience, fault tolerance, andāmost importantlyāsecurity. To illustrate, each node within a DV cluster operates with a key share. Obol's DV middleware, Charon, collects the individual signatures from each node within a cluster and uses threshold signing to generate the full validator signature for attesting and producing blocks. For each cluster, as long as more than 66% of the nodes are live (i.e., 3 of 4, 5 of 7, etc.), the cluster will function normally. Key advantages of DVs include improving fault tolerance, since you can have some nodes down without the validator going offline, and improving security as the full private key never exists in one place, making it exceedingly difficult for attackers to compromise the system. DVT also allows for increased decentralization as operators can now collaborate in multi-operator validation.<br></p><p><strong>Joint Mission and Values between P2P.org and Obol Network</strong><br></p><p>As we transition into this partnership, we must note that our core values resonate deeply with Obol's principles. We both harbor a steadfast commitment to decentralized validation and trust minimization. Our shared focus on transparency, security, and regenerative economics makes this collaboration more than just a business arrangementāa unified vision for the future of Ethereum staking.<br></p><ol><li><strong>Open Source & Transparency:</strong> P2P.org and Obol Network adhere to open-source philosophies. This transparency ensures the broader community can engage, contribute, and benefit from our joint efforts.<br></li><li><strong>Public Good:</strong> Obol's commitment to channeling fees into public goods resonates with our belief in fostering a decentralized ecosystem that benefits everyone, not just a privileged few.<br></li><li><strong>Trust Minimization:</strong> In a world filled with centralized traps, P2P.org and Obol Network are bastions for trust-minimized, decentralized platforms. We aim to reduce reliance on any single operator, making the staking process as secure as possible.<br></li><li><strong>Innovation & Security: </strong>Our collaborative work aims to push the envelope in DVT, improving key distribution, fault tolerance, and geographic redundancy.<br></li></ol><p>By converging our strengths in these areas, P2P.org and Obol Network are collectively accelerating the development and adoption of next-gen decentralized staking solutions. <br></p><p>As always, we pledge to uphold our core values, summarized by the acronym STATS:<br></p><p><strong>Security:</strong></p><p>Our top concern is safeguarding your staked resources and personal information.

<p></p><h3 id="introduction"><strong>Introduction</strong><br></h3><p>Since 2018, we have dedicated ourselves to creating the pinnacle of secure staking solutions, especially within the Ethereum ecosystem. As of June 2023, our operations span over 50 networks, managing staked assets exceeding $1.6B. Recent enhancements to our Platform bolster our enterprise-level staking service, enabling easy integration for custodians, wallets, and neo-banks through a streamlined API. P2P.org stands as a vanguard in the drive for non-custodial staking at the institutional level, consistently pioneering methods to boost its widespread acceptance.<br></p><p>We're now pleased to announce further enhancements as P2P.org and SSV Network are collaborating to bring an upcoming integration of SSV distributed validators staking within the P2P.org staking platform. This enhancement will become a significant milestone for us, making it easier for institutions to manage their portfolio of digital assets and staking strategies utilizing DVT technologies.<br></p><h3 id="dvt-the-institutional-bridge"><strong>DVT, the institutional bridge</strong><br></h3><p>Our vision is to provide institutional investors, their preferred custodians, and B2B wallets with a single integration point to the staking-related services.<br></p><p>We've been working closely with custodians, self-custody services, and wallets and collected the following understanding of their key concerns:<br></p><ul><li>Being risk-averse, a need for comprehensive controls for all the risks associated with staking, including counterparty and slashing risks, is needed.</li><li>They need the ability to use multiple staking providers based on the staker's preference and decentralization considerations.</li><li>They have little appetite for maintaining multiple integrations with these providers, so ease of use and integration are critical.<br></li></ul><p>DVT technology represents an excellent opportunity to create a compelling offer for institutional investors that would address these needs. Once integrated with SSV, the P2P.org staking platform will also receive an additional differentiation that will help its positioning as a single integration point across various staking services, including direct and liquid staking across multiple networks and DVT-based staking. <br></p><p>While many can only offer staking across various providers as a part of a liquid staking option, P2P.org will provide a unique opportunity to stake directly to multiple institutional node operators.<br></p><h3 id="considering-institution-requirements"><strong>Considering institution requirements</strong><br></h3><p>Institutional staking solutions need to reflect important aspects of how hedge funds, VCs, Family Funds, and other similar entities operate in various technical and legal environments:<br></p><ul><li>Funds are typically managed via custody, a B2B wallet, or a crypto-friendly bank.</li><li>These intermediaries would typically be very risk averse and require explicit controls for counterparty risk, slashing risk (e.g., insurance), and legal risk, including OFAC compliance with the MEV relays.</li><li>They would often employ highly skilled professionals requiring control of the specific MEV relays in use and access to quasi-real-time monitoring.<br></li></ul><p>With these points in mind, we envision the Platform built with the following approach:<br></p><ul><li>API first: building for easy integration with the custodians and wallets</li><li>Whitelisted node operator set: Pick the locations and partners that would be capable of supporting each specific institutional requirements</li><li>Built-in reporting capabilities for better tax reporting and rewards management for their specific jurisdictions<br></li></ul><h3 id="payment-simplification"><strong>Payment simplification</strong><br></h3><p>SSV Network operates on a tokenomics model where SSV tokens are essential for availing the validator services. On the other hand, institutional stakers are familiar with two prevalent fee structures: monthly billing and an automatic deduction of validator fees from their cumulative staking rewards. In the latter case, stakers receive slightly diminished rewards, for instance, 95% of the total if there's a 5% validator commission, ensuring a hassle-free payment process for the validator.<br></p><p>P2P.org will keep this arrangement as much as possible within the SSV integration, so we must navigate the discrepancy between the clients' preferred pay method and the SSV tokenomics model.<br></p><h3 id="only-trusted-operators-need-to-apply"><strong>Only trusted operators need to apply</strong><br></h3><p>Due to the Platform's emphasis on institutional needs and the additional demands this places on node operators, we anticipate that the Platform will function with a pre-approved list of node operators, at least in the immediate to medium future. The P2P.org team will oversee the management and integration of node operators, drawing from the expertise we've gained through various partnerships with similar technical requirements. <br><br>Essential criteria for node operators will encompass the following:<br></p><ul><li>Reputable providers with proven track records for managing large amounts of stake and working with institutions</li><li>High-performance track record, as measured by rated network or similar tools</li><li>Consent to operate with the standard SSV fees assigned by the Platform</li><li>Commitment to providing the infrastructure that would be diversified geographically, as well as client software-wise, and MEV relay-wise</li><li>Potentially, commitment to providing slashing insurance<br></li></ul><p>In the future, node operator participation can be opened to a broader group of node operators.</p>

<p></p><p>As part of our ongoing effort to support Institutional demand and the needs of large ETH stakers, P2P.org has developed a new smart contract that allows true large scale stake of up to 12,800 ETH in a single transaction. (you can find the audit report by @MixBytes <a href="https://p2p.org/networks/ethereum/staking/audit.pdf?ref=p2p.org">here</a>).</p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-blue"><div class="kg-callout-text">smart contract address: <a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0x8e76a33f1aFf7EB15DE832810506814aF4789536?ref=p2p.org">0x8e76a33f1aFf7EB15DE832810506814aF4789536</a></div></div><p>This groundbreaking technology is just one of the many pillars supporting our innovative non-custodial staking platform. It allows users to have set fees agreed upon before you stake via MetaMask, Ledger & Safe. <strong>This new feature allows true institutional staking without boundaries. </strong></p><p><strong>Breaking the industry norms which currently only allows a user to stake up to 3,200 ETH from a wallet in a single transaction.</strong><br><br>We received tens of questions about the purpose of the 3200 $ETH limitation. At that moment, we realized how inconvenient that standard was. It needed to be fixed. The service is meant to be simple and user-friendly!<br>Imagine: You want to stake 12 thousand ETH and you used to have to make 3 transactions. You pay for gas. Plus, it is especially inconvenient if you have multisig. Ā Less transactions - better. It's easy to make mistakes and lose money when you're signing the fifth transaction in a row<br><br>We have solved these problems. Now we have truly institutional stake feature. 12k ETH per one transaction. One click staking. It should be as simple as that.<br><br>But truly institutional staking means something else. Itās big. True. But itās <strong>SIMPLE AND FAIR</strong>, too!</p><p>Unlike others, we won't overcharge you as your Ethereum rewards grow. Our fee is precisely agreed upon, on-chain. You won't be overpaying and it allows you to stake confidently with all the clarity.</p><p>Context: There are two revenue streams in Ethereum, consensus rewards for performing validators duties like attestations and execution rewards for proposing blocks (the last one part includes MEV as well). Ā And popular approach nowadays is to place proxy smart contract witch accumulates executions layer rewards (EL) and charge some % - like 25-35% from EL rewards. It's simple one.</p><p>BUT proportion between CL / EL rewards isn't stable. Our research shows that while you paying 30% from EL it quals 8% from total rewards in average. BUT since you may be lucky and get more blocks to create / large MEV you are at risk to be overcharged and pay up to 10-11% fee from total rewards. </p><p>That's not fair! It's difficult to choose the staking option while you don't know which exact conditions you are agree on. 8% or 11%? </p><p>So we created the oracle that knows how many CL rewards you got and calculate how many $eth we should charge you from El rewards in order to get exact % from total rewards. With P2P you will pay exact percent we agreed on. No less, no more.</p><p>You need this type of convenience and safety when staking large amounts of $ETH!</p><p><strong>We've reimagined large-scale ETH staking, simplifying the process and offering considerable savings in both time and money. </strong><br><br>Where others might vary their fees or give complex conditions, we stick to clarity and transparency. Our smart contract ensures that the exact % agreed upon is charged from your rewards. No hidden fees. No ambiguity. Only absolute transparency.</p><p><strong>How P2P.org is simplifying Institutional staking</strong></p><p>For our users, you can now manage and stake upto 12,800 ETH within one single session, providing a seamless user experience.
