We are proud to announce the release of Charon v1.0.0 after 3 years of development, testing, and Mainnet adoption! πŸ’ͺ

This transitions distributed validators (DVs) from an early technology to one ready to be the standard for ALL #Ethereum validators. 🧡

blog.obol.org/releasing-char…
Since the first Mainnet DV activation 18 months ago, Charon has made significant progress in ETH Mainnet adoption:

🎯 $1.5B+ being deployed to DVs by @LidoFinance & @ether_fi to diversify and decentralise their operator sets
🎯 175+ DV operators
🎯 DVs running in 35+ countries Image
❓What is Charon and Charon 1.0?

Charon is the world's first DV middleware client.

Charon 1.0 is the first long-term support (LTS) version of Charon, which will remain compatible with future releases and serve as a foundation for large-scale use cases and deployments of DVs.
Charon 1.0 marks the next phase of our journey, where we will rapidly scale the number of validators run as Obol DVs within all segments of the Ethereum staking ecosystem. πŸ“ˆ
Testnet phases πŸ§ͺ

From 2022-2024, Charon endured rigorous testing that confirmed DVs running Charon could achieve performance on par with that of traditional validators, even with a diverse set of:

πŸ“Œ Node operators (professional and home)
πŸ“Œ Clients and hardware
πŸ“Œ Geographies Image
πŸ” Security & Audits

Charon has been thoroughly assessed for the highest security standards.

Multiple assessments & audits have been completed on the Obol product suite by:

@etherealvc
@sigp_io
@zachobront
@Quantstamp
@SayferSecurity
