The Problem
Solo ETH staking requires a 32 ETH minimum, full uptime, and locks capital with no liquidity until exit; small validators carry concentrated slashing risk.
The Solution
NodeDAO pools deposits, issues the liquid nETH token, and distributes validator duty across a permissionless operator network using SSV-based Distributed Validator Technology to spread slashing risk.
Why it Matters
Permissionless operator marketplace + DVT integration + an optional restaking branch (rnETH) on top of vanilla LST issuance, governed by a 3-organization institutional DAO.
