Blockscapes geographically distributed node network

In a digital era where blockchain technology continues to disrupt the traditional financial landscape, achieving a robust, transparent, and efficient staking infrastructure is imperative. Catering to this need, Blockscape, in collaboration with StakeWise and SSV, is elated to introduce an innovative Liquid Staking solution. This sophisticated solution marries the distinctive advantages of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) by SSV with the robust framework of StakeWise Vaults, heralding a new epoch in Ethereum staking.

Here is the current operator setup with their geographic distributions and EL/CL clients:

Blockscapes geographically distributed SSV nodes are performing well

Blockscape | Region SGP: Nimbus+Nethermind

Blockscape | Region DEU: Teku+Besu

Blockscape | Region FRA: Prysm+Geth

Blockscape | Region CAN: Lighthouse+Geth

Central to this groundbreaking solution is the Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) by SSV, offering a myriad of advantages:

  1. Enhanced Security and Resilience: By decentralizing validator operations and distributing key management and signing responsibilities across multiple nodes, DVT significantly mitigates risks associated with single points of failure, offering a secure staking landscape
  2. Operational Continuity: With nodes geographically dispersed and managed under a single operator, coupled with varied Execution and Consensus layer combinations, DVT ensures operational continuity even amidst localized infrastructure failures or network issues.
  3. Maximized Staking Yields: The integration of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) aims to enhance the reliability and uptime of validators. Higher operational efficiency often translates to better staking performance, potentially leading to maximized staking yields due to reduced downtime and penalties.

Complementing the ingenuity of DVT by SSV is the integration of StakeWise Vaults, embodying the essence of liquid staking:

  1. Liquid Staking: StakeWise Vaults facilitate the optional minting of osETH tokens against staked Ethereum, providing stakers with the much-needed liquidity without necessitating the withdrawal of their staked assets, thus ensuring a flexible and lucrative staking experience.
  2. Customizable Staking Experience: The vault architecture offers extensive configurability, allowing for a tailored staking experience to meet the unique needs and preferences of individual stakers or institutions.
  3. Reduced Slashing Risk: By distributing validator operations across multiple nodes, the integration of DVT within StakeWise Vaults significantly mitigates the slashing risk, ensuring a safer staking environment.

The harmonious blend of DVT by SSV and StakeWise Vaults crafts a Liquid Staking platform that stands as a beacon of security, efficiency, and inclusivity. The meticulously engineered Blockscape Backend interacts seamlessly with the StakeWise Vault, ensuring a smooth and reliable staking process for both Institutional and Retail Stakers.

Architectural Overview

As we transition towards a future where decentralized decision-making and community consensus form the backbone of our governance model, with the EOA — Blockscape envisioned to evolve into a DAO, the Blockscape x SSV Liquid Staking solution is poised to be a harbinger of a new era in Ethereum staking.

Embark on a journey of enhanced Ethereum staking with Blockscape x SSV’s Liquid Staking solution, and be at the vanguard of a staking revolution that promises not just remarkable returns, but a secure, transparent, and community-driven staking ecosystem.

Tiered Rewards Structure for Blockscape Vaults

The Blockscape x SSV Liquid Staking solution introduces a tiered structure for Vaults, offering varying reward incentives based on the timing of participation and the amount of ETH staked. Here’s a detailed look at each tier:

SSV Vault Promo “Super Early Bird”

  • Target Staking Amount: 3,200 ETH
  • Commission: 4%
  • Description: This tier is tailored for the earliest adopters of the staking solution. A limited window of opportunity starting with launch allows stakers to capitalize on an increased reward rate. The “Super Early Bird” tier offers a substantial incentive for early participation, with a significant enhancement in the reward rate when using liquid staking derivatives. This tier is ideal for stakers who are looking to maximize their earnings at the earliest stage of the vault’s lifecycle.

SSV Vault Promo “Early Bird”

  • Target Staking Amount: 16,000 ETH
  • Commission: 6%
  • Description: Designed for stakers who join following the “Super Early Bird” phase, the “Early Bird” tier provides a balanced reward rate. Stakers in this tier benefit from a higher reward rate than the regular tier but slightly lower than the “Super Early Bird” promotional rate. It’s a middle ground for those who missed the first promotion but still want to seize an advantageous reward rate as the platform scales.

SSV Vault Regular

  • Target Staking Amount: 32,000 ETH
  • Commission: 8%
  • Description: This is the standard tier for the Blockscape Vaults, available once the promotional periods have concluded. It offers a competitive base reward rate, with an even higher return for those utilizing liquid staking derivatives. This tier is indicative of the standard offering that stakers can expect as a baseline when participating in the Blockscape x SSV Liquid Staking solution.
