Diversification of the protocol that diversifies Ethereum.
That’s exactly what Anchor, the new SSV client built by @sigmaprime, does. ⚓
Let’s unpack it. 🧵
1/ @sigmaprime, the team behind Lighthouse, one of Ethereum’s leading consensus clients, built Anchor to diversify SSV’s software stack.
It means SSV Network now has two independent clients that can power Distributed Validators.
2/ Here’s why that matters:
👉 Single-client dominance = correlated risk.
👉 One bug, exploit, or downtime could hit everyone running that client.
✅ Anchor adds redundancy, resilience, and diversity -> the same principles Ethereum itself relies on.
3/ So what is Anchor exactly?
It’s a production-ready SSV client that powers Distributed Validator Technology (DVT).
It lets multiple independent operators run pieces of the same validator securely with no single point of failure, no single client dependency.
4/ In simple terms:
Ethereum staking is stronger when validators aren’t relying on the same software, infra, or operator.
With SSV’s multi-client design, if one client fails, the network keeps running.
Anchor makes that possible.
