> 99.77% no > turnout is too low > okay turnout is higher now but it's self-selected > okay unique operators also say no but they don't speak for their delegators > okay solo stakers also say no but validators are obviously conflicted > asking validators about issuance is like asking landlords about rent > actually validator opinion was never relevant > users are what matter > no there is no way to measure what users think > measurable preferences are not social consensus > wow 99.9% no > this level of opposition is actually evidence of validator capture > precisely the entrenched rent-seeking constituency EIP-8363 is meant to fix > every additional no vote strengthens the case for ignoring the vote > 100% no > unprecedented proof that reform is urgently needed > proponents unchanged > rough consensus achieved

Our token holders deserve maximum transparency. After waiving the unlock schedule, the $OBOL token is now getting a fresh start!
Silent agreements are over. Obol just dropped their B1 and it’s 100% complete. This is what choosing to build different looks like.

Obol has removed a lot of supply overhang by removing investor lockups and has a perfect score in transparency. Probably nothing.
new token transparency report from @Blockworks dropping soon 👀 $OBOL

If we cut @ethereum staking issuance, we will likely kill LSTs. Without LSTs, DeFi will shrink to the size of a penny. Without DeFi, @ethereum will lose its main value proposition. Without its value proposition, @ethereum will die. Do we really want to kill @ethereum?

Can 100% endorse @dreamsofdefi as a quality and high agency hire!
I’m in Cannes for @EthCC this week. My bag is packed with a stash of personal branded goods and I have one goal: landing my next role in the space. Ethereum user and builder since 2017, looking to lead growth and content for an exceptional team. Find me and ask for a macaron gift box (or hunt for the ones I’ve hidden around Palais des Festivals) then scan for my proof of work 🫡 P.S. I’m paying a 1 ETH referral bounty for any intro that leads to a full-time position. 2 ETH if it’s inked before May 1.

I am stepping up as CEO of @dv_labs. We have reduced our team by 30%. This reduction will increase our runway to ensure our success despite a potentially protracted bear market or high rate environment. Institutions take time to win over, but place a high premium on security and risk-adjusted returns. Ethereum staking will be no different. If you manage funds on behalf of a client with a multi-sig wallet, you should ensure you’re staking their funds with a multi-operator validator too. Similarly for the Obol stack and the agent economy; this market will transform Ethereum, but the adoption will go through a Gartner hype cycle, and maturity will take time. Obol’s mission is to secure and power the Ethereum economy, and these tough decisions are necessary to achieve these aims. The team members leaving would make fabulous hires at other crypto firms, and have experience ranging across Cryptography, Data, Frontend, Content and Comms, and Operations. Drop into my DMs if I can make a connection.

Nous avons le parc nucléaire le plus important au monde rapporté à notre population. Avec nos 57 réacteurs répartis sur 18 sites, nous produisons une électricité abondante, pilotable et décarbonée. Nous en exportons même massivement. C’est une immense fierté française. À Belfort en 2022, j’annonçais la relance de notre ambition nucléaire. Nous y sommes : 6 nouveaux réacteurs EPR2 vont être construits à Penly, Gravelines et au Bugey. Le cap est tenu : produire davantage d’électricité en France pour renforcer notre souveraineté énergétique et soutenir notre réindustrialisation.

Somebody should tell Vitalik you can create a key, prepare a dkg, and complete a dkg in one line each using Obol Distributed Validators. End to end encrypted. With a couple more commands he can run near any combination of Ethereum clients, and take part in securing Ethereum as a squad. Glad to see some signs of engagement from the EF on the importance of Ethereum's decentralisation.
The Ethereum Foundation is using DVT-lite to stake 72,000 ETH: firefly.social/post/x/202621… My hope for this project is that in the process, we can make it maximally easy and one-click to do distributed staking for institutions. Choose which computers run your nodes, make a config file where they all have the same key, and then from there everything gets set up automatically. The idea that "running infrastructure" is this scary complicated thing where each person participating must be a "professional" is awful and anti-decentralization, and we must attack it directly. It should be a docker container or nix image or similar, one click or command line per node, enter the same key in each node, and they automatically find each other, the networking is set up, the DKG happens, and the staking begins. I also plan to use this soon, and I hope more institutions holding ETH can stake in this way. We want the authority over staking nodes to be highly distributed, and the first step to doing this is to make it easy.

Bull, bear or war, we continue to build the endgame of Ethereum.
In February we launched ObolClaw on the Obol Stack, shipped new Charon improvements, brought the Obol community together at meetups across the world, and more. Catch up on the key highlights 👇

Today* ObolClaw agents gain @austingriffith's Ethereum Skills. These skills enable an agent to better understand Ethereum and how to develop on it. These skills reduce the risk of hallucinating key contract addresses, improves RPC parsing, and ensure the agent is well equipped to navigate onchain. * When merged and released.
Today we're (soft) launching ObolClaw. Obol's mission is to power and secure Ethereum. First we built distributed validators. Then we built the Obol Stack to supercharge decentralised infrastructure. Now we're deploying Openclaw agents within it; to give them the skills to use, power, and secure Ethereum. Obol Stack v0.3.1 (below) supports Openclaw agents, and comes pre-loaded with an Ethereum RPC and the skills to read from it. ASAP we'll have a local wallet skill, and a lot more cool features to come soon. The future of the Agent Economy is on Ethereum. We at Obol are helping build it. LFGobol.

In Antwerp, at the European Industrial Summit, I’m delivering a clear message: If Europe doesn’t adapt and accelerate its strategic autonomy, it will become the adjustment market for its competitors. To prevent that, we must simplify rules and deepen the single market to unleash our industry; diversify our partnerships to secure our value chains; and protect our interests by embracing a genuine European preference and backing a “Made in Europe” approach. And above all: invest massively, together, in the sectors that will define tomorrow’s power—quantum, AI, green technologies and defence. Faster. Stronger. European!

This is a commitment that; starting tomorrow, I’m going to build (and shill) in public more, focusing on how Obol’s Stack is merging crypto infrastructure and AI agents to grow the Ethereum economy. Agents, with wallets, containerised, with the power to create infra on the fly.

Obol repurchased 300,000 $OBOL from the market last week. This follows the Obol Economic Engine’s launch last month. We’re building a sustainable economic foundation to support the protocol’s long-term health.

If you’d use a multi sig for the eth in your wallet; you should use a multi sig for your staked eth too. Choose distributed validators.
