Obol Network has released Charon v1.0, the first Long-Term Support (LTS) release of its Ethereum Distributed Validator (DV) middleware client. This release supports distributed key generation, creating a partial validator key share only for each node in the DV cluster without revealing the full private key. DV enhances Ethereum's fault tolerance by preventing single points of failure. The client side also prevents access to the validator private key share during runtime, minimizing the risk of private key leakage. Charon is also compatible with various client side combinations. Lido and EtherFi have promised to integrate Charon into their scaling operations. Obol plans to release version 1.0 of DV Launchpad, Obol Splits, and the Obol SDK.
