5.Obol Network releases Charon v1.0

Golden Finance reported that Obol Network released Charon v1.0, the first long-term support (LTS) version of its Ethereum distributed validator (DV) middleware client. This version supports distributed key generation and only creates partial validator key sharing for each node in the DV cluster without leaking the full private key. DV enhances Ethereum's fault tolerance by preventing single points of failure. The client also prevents access to validator private key sharing during operation, minimizing the risk of private key leakage. Charon is also compatible with a variety of client combinations. Lido and EtherFi have promised to integrate Charon into their calibration operations. Obol plans to release version 1.0 of DV Launchpad, Obol Splits, and Obol SDK.
