Liquid Collective to Partner with Rated Labs to Develop Ethereum Open Source Validator Performance and Security Standards

Liquid Collective, an institution-level liquidity staking protocol, issued a document stating that it has established a partnership with Rated Labs, a Web3 infrastructure project, to jointly develop the Ethereum ecosystem's first open source validator performance and security standards to define industry-wide fixed investment providers Evaluation criteria, aimed at addressing the lack of consensus in the staking space on how to objectively evaluate the performance of node operators managing these validators and the security risks associated with it. The two parties have published a roadmap to launch an upcoming open-source repository for building a framework for measuring validator performance and security, and will collaborate to create standardized performance metrics and security methodologies for operators in the Ethereum staking space and builder use. Liquid Collective will first tune key parameters used to objectively measure validator performance and security. The Rated Validator Effectiveness Rating (RAVER) platform developed by Rated Labs will provide metrics to measure validator performance. Additionally, the partnership aims to establish security management standards to effectively reduce risks for node operators. Meanwhile, Liquid Collective will continue to explore security support technologies such as integrating distributed validator technology (DVT).
