DVT

Distributed validator technology

Imagine a high-security lock that requires multiple keys to open. Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) works similarly for blockchain validators.

Normally, a validator's private key (like the lock's key) is stored on one computer. This creates a single point of failure – if that computer is compromised, the validator is vulnerable.

DVT solves this by splitting the private key into pieces and distributing them across several computers (a cluster). This makes it much harder for attackers to gain access, because they would need all the pieces.

Even if some computers in the cluster go offline, the validator can still function. The remaining computers with key pieces can work together to perform the necessary tasks. This redundancy makes the entire validator system more robust and resilient.

Why do we need DVT?

DefCor is at the forefront of innovation in the staking industry, and a core pillar of this commitment is our adoption of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT). DVT revolutionizes staking by distributing validator key management and signing responsibilities across multiple parties. This translates into a multitude of advantages for our users:

Enhanced Security: DefCor leverages DVT to safeguard your staked assets. By splitting validator keys into shares distributed across our network, we significantly reduce the risk of compromise. Even in the unlikely event that some nodes are compromised, your stake remains secure.

Unparalleled Reliability: Traditional staking setups are susceptible to downtime due to hardware failures or software bugs. DVT eliminates this concern. Our validator clusters are designed for fault tolerance, ensuring continued operation even if individual nodes experience issues.

Empowering Decentralization: DefCor is committed to a robust and decentralized staking ecosystem. DVT plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. By reducing reliance on a few dominant staking providers, DVT fosters a more distributed network, promoting fairer and more secure operations.

Peace of Mind for Stakers: DVT minimizes the trust placed on individual operators in the staking process. With DefCor, you can participate in staking with the confidence that your validator keys are never fully revealed, mitigating the risk of slashing penalties or malicious actions.

Maximized Staking Rewards: By prioritizing fault tolerance and minimizing downtime, DVT ensures your validator remains operational and actively contributing to the network. This translates to maximized staking rewards for you, our valued user.

A Future-Proof Staking Solution: DefCor recognizes the importance of continuous innovation. DVT is a future-proof technology that aligns perfectly with our vision. As DVT adoption grows and development flourishes, DefCor users will continue to benefit from enhanced security, decentralization, and overall staking efficiency.

By choosing DefCor, you're not just choosing a staking platform; you're choosing a commitment to a secure, reliable, and decentralized staking future powered by DVT.

How does DVT work?

DVT splits validator keys into shares distributed across multiple nodes. These shares are combined using cryptographic techniques to create a complete key, without any single node ever knowing the entire key. This allows the validator to function even if some nodes are compromised or offline.
