The second-largest crypto, Ethereum, recently made a historical transition by merging its PoS beacon chain with its mainnet without halting the network. Called as Ethereum Merge, it shifted the consensus mechanism of Ethereum Chain from PoW to PoS. Despite this, staking on Ethereum continues to be a tedious job. The SSV network offers an easy way for the validators to stake and earn while helping to scale Ethereum.
SSV network is a layer-0 staking infrastructure between the Ethereum Beacon chain node and the validator. It aims to diminish the probability of failed node validations by offering a decentralized validation and replacing a single validator with multiple independent operators across the network. It splits and runs the Ethereum validators between several different nodes.
The platform’s native token, SSV, backs the protocol, which is deeply intervened and plays a vital role in intensifying adoption. The token is used for governance and to pay the network fees. The SSV holders can vote on the platform upgrades and also receive rewards from the ETH staking.

SSV network began as a joint research project with the Ethereum Foundation in 2019. The project later grew heavily, encompassing a large team, a public testnet, and backing from industry leaders like Coinbase and DGC. the platform was founded by Alon Muroch, the present CEO of SSV Network, and Adam Afrima.
The main purpose of the network is to allow distributed operation of Ethereum validators. The Ethereum validator keys are split into Keyshares on SSV Network and then distributed to multiple nodes for a better uptime. The network has 3 main participants that make the things happen smoothly, operators, stakers and DAO members.
Operators
They are responsible for managing validators and performing a variety of duties on the Ethereum execution layer-Beacon chain.
Stakers
The stakers earn rewards by locking up their ETH, which further helps to secure the ETH network. They also earn network fees determined by the DAO
Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)
DAO members contribute to network governance and the decentralization of protocol and treasury ownership.
