Diva is an Ethereum Liquid Staking protocol powered by Distributed Validator Technology (DVT).

It is a vertically integrated protocol that connects Stakers and Operators:

Stakers obtain a Liquid Staking Derivative (divETH) that accrues value with Ethereum’s staking rewards automatically without the need of running any infrastructure.

Operators can run a Distributed Validation (Diva) client to fulfill staking duties and earn additional rewards.

A distributed social hackathon…. Well, when you have an open source project it’s in your best interest to allow people from all over the world to contribute, afterall that’s the meaning of open source, right?

So our idea was to host a hackathon, where anyone could contribute, collaborate and create projects directly into one organization and we would fund bounties and provide code review in real time.

Our goal with this invitingly open source initiative is to inspire and educate incoming developers!

Blockternship

We are developing Lightning: an open protocol layer that leverages the power of blockchains and smart contracts to make cheap, fast, private transactions available to anyone around the world. 

User growth and application innovation in the blockchain ecosystem are driving the need for new protocol layers that build on the security and ubiquity of blockchains. Lightning is one of the first and most essential of these protocols, providing blockchains with the scalability to support magnitudes more users as well as the flexibility to support a new wave of financial applications.

Networks and the ability to cooperate in highly complex patterns brought human civilization to the incredible accomplishments we are lucky to be witnessing.

Cooperation requires trust. Over millennia, the model of trust in society has undergone several stages of evolution. Originating as trust in personal relationships, it has progressed towards trust in authorities and institutions. Today, the third wave of this evolution is surging. Recent breakthroughs in science and technology have made it possible to conduct direct interactions between large groups of people reliably via electronic communication and sophisticated cryptographic protocols. Public permissionless blockchains are the culmination of this development. Unstoppable, censorship-resistant, borderless, programmable money offer unprecedented opportunities.

So, why is then blockchain adoption so visibly slow? We believe, two large gaps must be closed before distributed ledgers will be embraced ubiquitously: scalability and privacy. On the one hand, existing technologies simply cannot keep their promises of security and decentralization at the scale of industrial applications. On the other hand, few businesses and individuals will tolerate making each and every one of their transactions public to the entire world.

Matter Labs is committed to remove these obstacles. We’re building secure, scalable, programmable, privacy-preserving blockchain technology.
