Ankr has partnered with ssv.network, with the two protocols coming together to boost ETH liquid staking.

Ankr, a multi-chain infrastructure provider for Web 3, DeFi, announced in a press release on Wednesday, that it has partnered with ssv.network, a leading distributed validator technology infrastructure protocol.

In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, Ankr said it would integrate ssv.network's advancements in distributed validator technology, which would allow it to improve risk management and validator performance.

Furthermore, the partnership will boost decentralization across nodes in a completely trustless manner. The combination of the two protocols' technologies would lead to increased monetary safety for all that hold liquid-staked derivatives from Ankr.

While commenting on this latest development,  ssv.network Lead Alon Muroch said;

“We are excited to have Ankr as part of the SSV ecosystem. Ankr were one of the first ETH liquid staking pools in the space, their team has incredible tech foresight and the ability to execute fast. The same applies for their decision to become early adopters of DVT and build a next-gen staking pool on top of ssv.network. This is going to take staking to the next level.”

 In the coming months, Ankr said it would continue to expand its operator and validator base alongside ssv.network. This would ensure the timely and effective integration of Ankr into the protocol's distributed network of node operators. 

Ankr said it would take extra steps to stress test, ensure stability, and also test out some of the staking and delegation incentives considered for the network. The two teams would continue to partner to boost the current staking and node-running experience for the growing liquid staking economy.

Filipe Gonçalves, Chief of DeFi at Ankr, pointed out that;

“Ankr’s partnership with SSV.Network provides everything that our users desire from liquid staking – the highest levels of security and decentralization with stable and attractive yields. As the demand for staking increases, we will scale alongside it with the ability to provide staking rewards to any number of new users.”

Ankr is a leader in the liquid staking space as a form to free up capital in crypto markets, and ssv.network has the technology to provide a superior experience for stakers and node operators.

Combing ssv.network’s Distributed Validator Technology model with Ankr’s liquid staking infrastructure will create the next generation of liquid staking protocols. Together, the two protocols will work towards shaping the future of liquid staking by bringing about more decentralization, security, and accessibility for stakers and node operators on a global scale.

Ankr said the planned implementation of ssv.network would help to increase its growing community of third-party node operators, improving monetary safety for all that hold liquid staked derivatives from Ankr.

ssv.network is a decentralized staking infrastructure that enables the distributed operation of an Ethereum validator. 

Meanwhile, Ankr is a decentralized Web3 infrastructure provider powering the foundational layer for Web3, DeFi, and the digital economy on 20+ blockchains.
