If ETH is the foundation of the future DeFi/financial system, then large financial institutions will eventually enter the market on a large scale and participate in staking. The demand for ETH staking will be enormous.
Will they use existing staking platforms? No! They will definitely choose to create their own, with compliant and privatized deployment of decentralized staking clusters. This is a profound transformation opportunity for the Ethereum staking ecosystem.

Lido accounts for over 30% of ETH staking. Convenient? Certainly. But it also means that ETH staking is showing a trend towards centralization.
Vitalik and the community have long been vigilant, and Lido itself is "deliberately restraining" its market share expansion. Because everyone understands: once overly concentrated, it becomes a point of vulnerability.
—
The risks of Lido holding a high proportion include:
Governance easily manipulated by capital
Increased risk of node censorship
Formation of systemic single points of failure
Once a censorship or downtime event occurs, the impact on the entire ETH network could be a chain reaction. Of course, Lido is also seeking change.

What to do?
The answer is: Obol Network.
Obol innovated DVT, splitting the control of a single validator node among multiple independent operators.
This way, even if some nodes go down or are censored, the entire validator can still produce blocks normally. Lido is also using Obol to connect more small and medium nodes to make itself more decentralized.
—
What can Obol achieve?
Self-developed Choboloco protocol, low communication latency, high stability
Nodes do not need complete mutual trust, as long as the majority are online, blocks can be produced
Flexible access to existing staking architecture, extremely adaptable
Designed specifically for compliant large funds.

If the future ETH staking ETF opens, the issuing institutions will be most concerned about:
Stability, reliability, compliance
Simple middleware access
Censorship resistance
Insiders (top American capital)
Obol's solution + shareholder background will make it an important underlying facility in the new generation of Ethereum staking ecosystem.
