The SSV Network, managed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), has introduced the SSVDivers Ambassador Program and the Community Associates Program to enhance community involvement.
These initiatives aim to provide community members with the resources and opportunities to propose and manage projects aligned with the SSV Network's mission, particularly in the area of decentralized staking.
SSVDivers Program
The SSVDivers Program empowers participants by encouraging them to use their unique skills alongside SSV technology to advance decentralized staking.
LinkoPlus of the SSVDivers Program expressed excitement, stating, “It's an honour to represent and help the SSV community.
Being part of an organization that lives up to the Ethereum ethos is amazing, and it's awesome to see how fast SSV is growing.”
Community Associates Program
Complementing the SSVDivers Program, the Community Associates Program focuses on incentivising members to engage in marketing, create and localise content, and promote SSV's vision. Both programs aim to amplify the SSV ecosystem's presence and boost engagement within the community.
Incentive Mechanisms
Running for at least a year, these programs offer various incentives, including rewards, limited-edition merchandise, and community recognition.
These mechanisms are designed to encourage community participation and raise awareness of SSV technology's potential in enhancing decentralized staking.
Statements from SSV Leadership
Elad Gafni, Operations Manager of the SSV Foundation, highlighted the importance of community participation in adopting SSV technology.
“Driving greater adoption of SSV technology isn’t just a task for developers: it calls for participation of the entire community, whose skills are instrumental in raising awareness of the many ways in which DVT modules can be used to enhance the ETH staking landscape.”
Gafni added, “The SSVDivers Ambassador Program and Community Associates Program provide a practical way for the community to get directly involved and reap the rewards and recognition their hard work warrants.
In the process, they’ll help to create the content and other valuable resources that will make it easier for builders to create novel applications based upon SSV’s open-source protocol.”
About SSV.Network
SSV Network's distributed validator technology (DVT) enables the development of DVT-powered staking and restaking applications.
As a DAO-owned and open-sourced protocol, it supports third-party developers in creating applications to enhance the Ethereum staking ecosystem and its L2 networks.
The network comprises over 720 decentralized node operators securing more than 32,000 ETH validators. Currently, 41 SSV-based services and applications are in development, ranging from tooling to restaking.
SSV’s DVT infrastructure facilitates the distribution of ETH validator nodes across multiple machines, enhancing the robustness of the staking network.
Recently, SSV celebrated the milestone of 1 million ETH staked and the introduction of SSV nodes to the Lido Simple DVT module.
