Obol

Obol builds distributed validator infrastructure for Ethereum, letting a validator be run across multiple independent operators and machines (a Distributed Validator, or DV) instead of a single node, which removes single points of failure in proof-of-stake staking. Its core software is Charon, a Go middleware client that coordinates the operators, plus the DV Launchpad dapp, the Obol Splits smart contracts, and the Obol API (api.obol.tech) with a TypeScript SDK for creating and managing clusters. The Obol API exposes cluster definitions, cluster locks, validator states, exits, deposits, fee recipients, effectiveness, peer scores, Techne credentials, and network staking metrics.

Obol publishes 17 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Address API, Cluster Definition API, Cluster Effectiveness API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, Ethereum, Staking, and Distributed Validators.

Obol’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, authentication, CLI, and 26 more developer resources.
