SSV V2 Testnet Stats
The Merge is upon us!
Now that the Merge has finalized and validators are responsible for securing the network, distributed validators (dValidators) are the next critical step. Check out SSV’s part in the Merge to see how the protocol can drive the way forward to a truly decentralized and antifragile Ethereum.
