SSV Community Digest — Issue #5
Hello Community??! ?????????? Partners are lining up to become part of the ssv.network??— that’s what this issue is all about. Happy digesting??.
Now that we’re close to the end of Batch #1?? of the DAO Partner Program, the final wave?? of Partner proposals showed up on the forum, with well-known companies on the list??. Lead Capital, NGC Ventures, Gate Ventures (Gate.io), XT.com, OKEx, all top-notch venture capitals??, came up with dedicated proposals (?? see the DAO Updates section below, which received some polish??). Wow, what a line-up!??
?? The proposal of NGC Ventures deserves a special ??mention since they made their plans to stake more than 1000 ETH??, along with a 99.9% ??time commitment for running a node on the ssv.network very clear.
Also, the Partner Group #3 proposal?? including Chainlayer.io, DSRV, Infstornes, Skillz, and Edi from ShardLabs waits for your pick?? and is ready to vote. The same goes for the proposal to add the Amber Group as a partner of the DAO??.
?? Keep in mind?? that according to the DAO guidelines, we need minimum participation for the votes. You can find the minimum quorum in the SSV DAO treasury sheet??. Every vote? counts!
? We still have the reward distribution proposal for the incentivized testnet and the DAO curated node registry proposal open to take your thoughts and comments??. Please take the opportunity??, and shape the future of the ssv.network.
We don’t just vote; we also take action??! The Uniswap Liquidity proposal has been executed??????, with 1 Million USD liquidity added to the Uniswap SSV/ETH pool.
Valid Blocks, a well-received non-custodial staking service, announced that SSV support is under active development?????. We’ll soon have them as guests in the almost legendary Know Your Operator series??. Make sure to ring the bell on YouTube??.
But wait??, that is not the end of the list of Partners. We also welcome Huobi Pool, one of the biggest mining pools & staking services, as a node operator on the ssv.network. Say Hi??????????!
?? After Gate.io, Binance, and others, Swapzone, a cryptocurrency exchange aggregator, finally?? added SSV to the list of supported assets.
Alon Muroch held an exciting speech?? during the blockchain Week Rome. We reached out to the organizer to get a recording for you. Stay tuned.
On the last community digest issue?? we gave you all a sneak peek at the lovely new ssv.network logo??, which is now all around the place??. Check out the updated r/SSVnetwork Reddit presence, our Discord, and the ssv.network YouTube Channel.
Vision
Our new designs are just the beginning? of a broader vision??.
Eran Efrima wrote about the greater “Decentralized Marketing” vision, eventually giving all the marketing power? to the community???????????, decentralizing EVERYTHING_._ Let’s talk to us if you want to get involved.
“We want to make marketing ownership decentralized”

??????????With Ledger finally releasing SSV Token support for their Ledger Live Desktop, we can feel how the ecosystem around the ssv.network develops and gets an even bigger footprint??. Make sure to ??grade your Ledger Live App to v2.35.0.
On Twitter??, @gabagooldoteth expressed his surprise that SSV isn’t more often discussed?????. This kicked off an interesting conversation with great replies from @brecales.
You surely noticed?? the long-awaited launch of Rocketpool?? giving everyone more options for ETH staking. However, with great power?? comes great responsibility??, where SSV could help in the future. u/lifesmage posted his long, yet brilliant Rocket Pool Investment Thesis 2.0 on Reddit, not without mentioning SSV as a building block for the future?? of eth staking.
On the Ethereum protocol side of things, Trenton Van Epps wrote about the post-merge roadmap and validator withdrawal. If you care about your funds, this is a must-read??.
???????? Community Asks
??How to get the operator role assigned?
“Only for new operators! If you are done registering you operator on the network please head to ?? submit-tickets to request the operator role.”
— Dean
??Why doesn’t my operator show up?
“If you registered an operator in the last few days and still don’t see their operator in the explorer; we are working on a fix and you should be able to see your operators updated on the SSV explorer within 24 hours.”
