Product Features
OVM is made possible by Ethereum’s recent Pectra upgrade, which introduced validator actions that can now be triggered on-chain from the validator’s withdrawal address.
This unlocks a new era of programmable validator management. Obol built OVM to make the most of these features. It’s:
Leverage Pectra’s new validator actions
Separate validator duties for additional security & control
Built for Everyone

Use Cases
Native DeFi Collateral
With OVM, validators themselves can become powerful DeFi collateral without relying on liquid staking tokens. Directly leveraging validators as collateral allows stakers to access liquidity and retain staking rewards. This paves the way for streamlined borrowing, lending, and liquidity provision directly via validators.
Validator Fungibility & Transfers
OVM’s programmable control enables smart contract-based transfers of validator ownership without needing to unstake. Institutional players and individual operators can securely and programmatically transfer validator ownership through a marketplace or via their backend infrastructure.
