Obol Stack v0.9.0 Release

Obol Stack v0.9.0 adds $OBOL as a payment asset for x402 agent transactions and introduces Hermes as the default runtime.

The proposal temporarily raises penalties for validator liveness failures during large-scale outages to discourage centralized setups.

7.5% of the $OBOL supply is allocated to an airdrop for the Obol Community, including Solo Stakers and Rocketpool Node Operators.

Users who stake on Obol distributed validators (DVs) can access future governance rights within the Obol Collective.

EtherFi and Lido have committed $1.5 billion of stake to be managed by DVs.

The first long-term support (LTS) version of its distributed validator (DV) middleware client for Ethereum.

A new funding model designed to support projects focused on decentralizing the Ethereum consensus layer.

The roadmap includes initiatives for shifting towards Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing.

The integration enables native restaking for Obol distributed validators.

Anyone looking to operate DV nodes can now use Obol’s launchpad and run its DV client, Charon.
