What is Obol?

Obol acts as a foundation for Layer 1’s as well as other emerging Decentralized Infrastructure Networks (Layer 2’s, DePin, Sequencers, Provers, Preconfirmations, AVS’s, Oracles, etc). Ethereum staking protocols like Lido and EtherFi are already using Obol DVs on mainnet to onboard hundreds of at-home operators and secure nearly $1 billion in stake. Obol DVs are also active on Gnosis Chain, and coming soon to Monad. Obol has a vision for securing all applicable PoS Layer 1 blockchains, which currently include more than $500 billion of staked assets, and are likely to secure trillions of dollars in the future.


Now, the launch of the OBOL Token enables Obol to decentralize ownership and governance, conduct retroactive funding for ecosystem builders, and improve operator economics. Obol now has everything it needs to expand its Decentralized Operator Ecosystem and solidify itself as the foundation of Decentralized Infrastructure Networks.
