DVT Staking for Institutions
P2P.org's DVT Staking API enables institutions to stake Ethereum using Distributed Validator Technology via the SSV Network protocol. Validator responsibilities are split across four independent operators: three of four running simultaneously is sufficient to maintain full operation. Non-custodial, SOC 2 Type II attested, and designed for institutions with uptime SLAs and compliance obligations.
Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) splits Ethereum validator key management and responsibilities across multiple independent operators. Rather than relying on a single node, a cluster of operators shares signing duties using a threshold signature scheme. The validator continues operating as long as a defined threshold of operators (typically three of four) remains online, eliminating single point-of-failure risk.

Security & Compliance
For institutions with uptime obligations, compliance requirements, and large ETH positions, single-node validator infrastructure carries unacceptable concentration risk. DVT changes that equation by design.
Validator continues operating if one of four operators goes offline
Near-zero slashing risk through distributed key management and threshold signing
No single operator holds enough key material to act unilaterally
On-chain transparency: operator selection, fees, and signing all verifiable onchain
Designed to support regulatory requirements for non-pooling and direct protocol rewards
Compatible with Fireblocks, Copper, and institutional custody solutions
P2P.org implements DVT via the SSV Network protocol, distributing your validator's key management across four independent operators. The cluster uses Distributed Key Generation (DKG) and threshold BLS signatures – no single operator ever holds the full validator key.
When a new DVT validator is created, P2P.org coordinates a Distributed Key Generation (DKG) ceremony. Each of the four operators receives a key share. No full validator key ever exists in one location at any point during the process.
Every validator duty (attestation, block proposal) requires a threshold of three out of four operators to sign. If one operator experiences downtime, the validator continues operating normally on the remaining three. The validator only stops if two or more operators fail simultaneously.
P2P.org coordinates a geographically distributed operator set including Allnodes, Stakely, and HTX, alongside P2P.org's own infrastructure. Geographic distribution reduces correlated failure risk from regional outages, cloud provider incidents, or network disruptions.

Distributed Validator Technology splits a validator's key material across several independent operators using threshold signing, so no single operator holds the full key and the validator keeps running if one goes offline.
Via the SSV Network protocol, distributing key management across four independent operators. The cluster uses Distributed Key Generation (DKG) and threshold BLS signatures, so no single operator ever holds the full validator key.
Yes. The ETH withdrawal address remains under your control throughout, exactly as with native staking. P2P.org coordinates DKG setup with your custody provider.
The validator continues operating normally on the remaining three. Every duty requires a threshold of three of four signatures, so the validator only stops if two or more operators fail simultaneously.
Native staking runs a dedicated validator on P2P.org infrastructure. DVT distributes that validator's key shares across four independent operators, removing the single point of failure and the single point of control.
DVT validators run on the SSV Network, which distributes protocol incentives to participating operators and stakers. Accrual is visible in your dashboard alongside attestation performance.
After the DKG ceremony completes across all four operators, validators activate within the Ethereum network queue timeframe.
SOC 2 Type II attestation, audit-ready documentation for compliance review, and a design intended to support regulatory requirements for non-pooling and direct protocol rewards. Full detail is in the Trust Center.
No. DVT validators are full 32 ETH validators with distributed key management. To stake below the minimum, use Pooled Staking.
