Expanding the rswETH Operator Set
Meet the rswETH node operators.
rswETH just got more decentralized.
More node operators have recently been onboarded to strengthen our staking infrastructure.
As with the node operators for swETH , these operators met rigorous Onboarding Criteria , including robust operational capabilities, security protocols, experience in validator management, utilizing underrepresented clients, and geographical distribution.
Why This Matters
Decentralization is vital for enhancing security and censorship resistance in blockchain networks. By adding new operators that meet our high onboarding standards, we are distributing responsibility across a more diverse set of validators. This reduces risks associated with centralization and improves the robustness of our liquid restaking product, rswETH — bringing us closer to achieving a truly decentralized and resilient Ethereum network.
Below is a complete list of brief overview of the node operators that make up our diverse and decentralized operator set for rswETH.

Strengthening the Swell Ecosystem with SSV
In addition to geographical distribution and minority client utilization, these new operators will be implementing SSV technology. This technology splits validator keys into multiple parts, ensuring that no single operator has full control over the validator. This innovation will make our network more robust and resistant to single points of failure, enhancing both security and decentralization.
