Blockops Secures Grant Funding from SSV DAO

We are thrilled to announce that Blockops, has secured a grant funding from the SSV Network to spearhead the Blockops X SSV Network Integration. This collaboration aims to streamline the management of blockchain nodes, particularly for solo stakers and node operators.

This collaboration leverages the strengths of both Blockops’ infrastructure solutions and the SSV network’s decentralized staking technology to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and accessibility of node operations. By integrating with the SSV network, Blockops will provide an improved user experience for node operators, ensuring seamless setup, monitoring, and maintenance of nodes while optimizing staking performance, security, fault tolerance and client diversity.

Why SSV?

Integrating with the SSV Network aligns perfectly with Blockops’ mission to simplify and enhance blockchain infrastructure. SSV’s Decentralized Validator Technology(DVT) offers numerous benefits, including increased security, enhanced reliability, improved client diversity, and overall alignment with Ethereum’s core principles. By leveraging SSV’s innovative protocol, Blockops can provide a more robust and resilient infrastructure solution for users, ensuring they can operate their nodes with greater confidence and efficiency.

Blockops X SSV Network Integration

The Blockops and SSV Network integration will be rolled out in two distinct phases, meticulously designed to ensure a smooth transition from testnet to mainnet deployment. This collaborative effort will deliver a multitude of benefits, including:

• Phase 1 (Testnet): Establishing a Predefined Managed Dashboard specifically tailored to monitor SSV Node components. This phase will also introduce Telescope agent v1.0.0 for comprehensive node (offchain) monitoring, encompassing uptime checks for critical functionalities and seamless alert integration with popular platforms like Slack, Email, and Discord. Additionally, debugging and monitoring tools will be readily available to facilitate a smooth testnet experience.
• Phase 2 (Mainnet): Ushering in MEV-boost Integration, a powerful feature designed to enhance block rewards for users. Streamlined node deployment and management across various cloud platforms like AWS and GCP will be implemented, along with bare-metal server deployment via an SSH module. This phase will also introduce key management with integration to industry-standard solutions like Vault or Web3Signer. To ensure comprehensive observability, Telescope will be further enhanced for in-depth node monitoring. User experience is a top priority, so this phase will also encompass the development of user guides and tutorials to ensure a seamless onboarding process.
