Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed integrating native Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) directly into the Ethereum staking protocol to improve network security and validator decentralization. The proposal allows a single validator to register multiple independent keys requiring threshold signatures to operate, reducing single-node failure risks while maintaining effective slashing mechanisms. This native DVT aims to lower operational barriers, encouraging more participants to stake independently and boost decentralization metrics, though the idea is still in the proposal stage and requires community discussion.
