The SSV Network DAO is excited to announce its 10K Gold tier sponsorship in the ETHOnline hackathon by ETHGlobal. This is a thrilling opportunity for hackers to use SSV Network to develop next-generation restaking apps and tooling using a resilient and decentralized distributed validator technology (DVT) infrastructure.
TL;DR
🛠️ Build: Next-generation applications and tooling on the leading DVT infrastructure.
💰 Prizes: $10,000 in rewards, spread across 3 tracks.
🧑💻 Get Involved: Join the hackathon and start building.
📚 Resources: Access helpful materials and workshops.
Hack with Leading DVT Infrastructure
From the get-go, the SSV Network was developed with builders in mind. By creating a robust infrastructure for distributing validators, developers can easily contribute to the growing network effect of DVT-powered staking. By tapping into the creativity of devs, SSV-integrated applications can collectively create considerable value for the staking space through diverse and impactful use cases.
SSV’s end goal is to have the majority of stake run through DVT, ensuring that Ethereum’s validation layer is as decentralized and resilient as possible. By participating in the ETHGlobal online hackathon, the SSV DAO can further this mission by rewarding hackers for building innovative applications and tooling using SSV infra. Since launching on the Ethereum mainnet in December 2023, the SSV Network has secured over 1.3M ETH staked with nearly 900 globally distributed node operators in the ecosystem.

Resources and additional learning opportunities
For those who want to get a more granular look into SSV and the hackathon, ETHGlobal will host the SSV Labs team on an X Space on the 20th of August. If you are hacking DVT, this is a must-watch!
The space will also be supplemented by a workshop that will go live on the ETHGlobal YouTube, covering restaking and SSV after the 23rd of August.
