The Problem
Native ETH staking locks capital with validator queue exit delays and operational overhead, while most LSTs concentrate validator operations and depend on opaque off-chain key custody.
The Solution
OETH lets users earn auto-compounding ETH staking yield in a rebasing ERC-20 backed 1:1 by ETH, with DVT-based validator infrastructure (no single key holder) and instant secondary-market exit via deep Curve AMO liquidity.
Why it Matters
First major LST to use SSV Network DVT at scale plus a Curve AMO model adapted from the battle-tested OUSD codebase; transparent on-chain accounting, 20% performance fee funds OGN buybacks for xOGN stakers.
