Vitalik Proposes Native DVT Staking

The proposal seeks to enshrine DVT at the protocol-level, which would allow users to simply run standard nodes.

Vitalik Buterin published a forum post proposing native Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) for Ethereum. DVT allows validator private keys to be split into keyshares distributed across multiple independent nodes, enabling an M-of-N threshold setup. The architecture increases fault tolerance and reduces single-point-of-failure risk. The proposal seeks to implement DVT at the protocol-level, which would allow users to simply run standard nodes. Vitalik’s proposed design has minimal latency overhead, is compatible with any signature scheme, and encourages self-custody, helping to improve Ethereum’s decentralization.

Lens Labs, the team behind the Lens socialfi protocol, announced that stewardship of the Lens protocol has been handed over to Mask Network, a decentralized social project behind the Firefly Web3 social aggregator. The Lens Labs team will serve in an advisory role. Lens Chain, a L2 network built on ZKsync’s ZK Stack, and the Lens V3 iteration launched on mainnet in April 2025. Lens Labs cited the need for dedicated focus and expertise to operate consumer social products at scale. The project’s new direction will focus on consumer-grade execution, product design, and global distribution.

Gusto, a payroll provider serving over 400,000 small businesses, integrated support for stablecoin payouts to international contractors. The integration leverages Zerohash, a regulated financial infrastructure provider, to handle custody, compliance, and settlement. The release reduces cross-border transfer times from days to minutes, addressing delays and inefficiencies in traditional banking systems. It enables faster, 24/7 global payouts for contractors and more flexible payment options for businesses. The feature is currently in beta.
