ssv.network Introduced Latest Public Testnet, Jato, a Step Closer to Mainnet Launch

ssv.network announced Jato, the latest iteration of their public testnet. Jato serves as their mainnet candidate and offers major gas cost optimization, improved validator account management, and an increase in the number of nodes that run a validator. Moreover, it introduces private networks for tailored user bases, more customization, and more control over staking operations.

The introduction of Jato is an essential step towards achieving ssv.network's vision of decentralizing Ethereum's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, where the majority of staked ETH must run through Distributed Validator Technology (DVT). With Jato taking the reins, ssv.network will make the final steps toward their goal of scaling the number of validators and the nodes operating inside it.

SSV.network is a fully decentralized and open ETH staking network that uses Secret Shared Validators (SSV) to split a validator key for ETH staking between non-trusting nodes or operators.
