High-availability validators
DVs provide active-active redundancy in which one or more nodes can go offline without bringing down a validator. This can be achieved without introducing any slashing risk thanks to threshold signing.

Multi-operator validation
For protocols and custodians, DVs facilitate the ability for a single validator to be run by multiple operators (each running their own node within the DV cluster). This reduces the risk of operator failure or byzantine behaviour and improves opportunities for smaller operators.

Squad staking
Home operators and others can partner to run a DV as a squad, reducing the burden of maintaining an effective node 24/7 and allowing the bonding requirement to be pooled or sourced externally.

Multi-client, multi-geo validators
Each node in a DV can run in a different geography and hosting environment, using different consensus, execution, and validator clients. This greatly improves overall resilience to single-points-of-failure.
Community Squad Staking
Each node in a DV can run in a different geography and hosting environment, using different consensus, execution, and validator clients. This greatly improves overall resilience to single-points-of-failure.
Restaking
The strongest foundation for the restaking ecosystem is built through distributed AVS operations and decentralized liquid restaking protocols. DVs decentralize restaking by securing LRTs and providing scalable tooling for AVS operators. Restaking primitives enable the verifiable cloud, with DVs strengthening the 'servers' that form its backbone.

DVs Benefits
Liquid Staking Protocols
PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS
Home node operators
Token Holders
Increase decentralisation and have confidence in your operator set.
Reduce Slashing Risk
Improve resilience and reduce slashing risk by operating DVs, where each node contains only a share of the validator key.
Decentralise Operators
By improving effectiveness and reducing trust assumptions, DVs enable home stakers to run nodes for large LSPs for the first time.
Byzantine Fault Tolerance
Greatly reduce the byzantine risk of any single operator within your set by using multi-operator clusters to change trust assumptions.
