Who Are We?

DV Labs is a remote 30+ member research and software development team with a vision to establish a credibly neutral, trust-minimised infrastructure layer for web3. Previously known as Obol Labs, our work on distributed validators (DVs) boosts the security, resilience, and decentralisation of the Ethereum network.

Our values & Culture

We live by our values - we are: reliable, secure, synergistic, and innovative. These values aren't just a set of ideals, they're the foundation of our culture and the key to our success.

At DV Labs, productivity meets work-life balance in perfect harmony - we promote flexibility, trust, and transparency. We believe in connection beyond screens. Our team stays ahead by attending conferences and gathers annually for an offsite event full of collaboration, teamwork, and fun!

The Products

DV Labs develops and maintains three core products:

Charon, a Golang based middleware client enabling multiple nodes or parties to run validators together, in a fault-tolerant manner.

The DV Launchpad, a web interface for launching and managing Distributed Validators.

Obol Splits, a set of solidity contracts assisting with the formation of Distributed Validators, by allowing the ETH bond and validator rewards to be split across multiple parties.

Supporting the Obol Collective

DV Labs supports the Obol Collective: a community dedicated to scaling Ethereum by strengthening the security, resiliency, and decentralisation of the consensus layer through the development and deployment of distributed validators.
