Ethereum staking infrastructure SSV.Network plans to reduce hardware requirements Ethereum staking infrastructure SSV.Network has announced a roadmap aimed at significantly reducing hardware requirements for more than 20,000 validators within four months of operation, ChainCatcher reported. The SSV Labs team says it aims to reduce hardware requirements by 75-90% over the next 12 months, and its roadmap will be divided into multiple phases covering encryption, consensus and network optimization. SSV.Network also addresses network inefficiencies by optimizing its network topology. By strategically mapping validators to topics based on cluster affiliation, the platform is designed to minimize the burden on individual operators while maintaining network robustness. Message processing can be reduced by 98%.
