Vitalik proposes introducing native DVT staking mechanism at the Ethereum protocol layer

On January 21, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed the "native DVT (Distributed Validator Technology)" solution on the Ethereum Research forum, suggesting that DVT be directly integrated into the Ethereum staking protocol layer to enhance network security and promote decentralization at the validator level. According to the proposal, validators can register multiple independent keys and operate in groups, with block proposals or attestations only being valid after reaching a set signature threshold. Vitalik stated that this design has low performance overhead, supports self-custodial staking, and helps improve validator decentralization metrics. Currently, this proposal is in the early discussion stage and requires community evaluation and consensus.
