How to Stake ETH with your friends with Thomas Heremans (Obol)

I spoke to Thomas Heremans (x.com/_Cryptoma), CEO of the Obol Association (x.com/Obol_Collective). Obol is an ecosystem for trust minimized Ethereum staking that enables distributed validators (DVs) across a cluster of nodes in order to improve resilience as compared to running a validator on a single node. Previously I spoke to Osín Kyne (theblockchainsocialist.com/obol-network-how-dv…), the CTO of Obol Network and they had plenty of updates since last time.
Thomas gave us a refresher on what DVs are and what they can enable, some success stories of how communities have funded themselves with Obol DVs and what the future looks like for Obol. They also announced the Obol Incentives Program (obol.org/incentives) where you can earn OBOL tokens for staking on distributed validators.
