This is a curated list of SSV tools & projects & guides

If you are looking for other resources to help you start building, check out lsd-pool a playground repository with LSD staking pool powered by SSV.

LSD Staking pool previously hosted here, has now separate repo and it is hosted at https://github.com/ssv-network/lsd-pool/

The best way is via discord channel #devs-support, ask there, tag the team directly, and also @MarkoInEther and @Matty. We will help you to get to the right person.

You can hop into SSV discord channel #devs-support and get feedback on your ideas. You may also check active grants directly. If you are considering applying for one, write in SSV discord and tag @Matty and @MarkoInEther. They will be happy to help you draft a rock star grant application.

You can read the full documentation at docs.ssv.network. There are also addition tutorials in the tutorials folder.

• lsd-pool Backend script MIT | PY | NOT production ready This backend scrip in this repo allows has all the necessary functions to easily manage a staking pool. It can be also used separately, just to generate keys or do key splitting.
  It has these actions:

  - create validator keys (for Beacon Chain Deposit Contract)
  - generate keyshares (for SSV Contract)
  - deposit keyshares
  - deposit validators
  

To use the SSV network a validator key needs to be split into keyshares, which then need to be encrypted for chosen operators. You can use these tools for it, and to know more read the documentation.

• SSV Keys - validator key splitting tool by Blox MIT | JS

This is a validator key splitting tool library implemented in JS/TS. It can be used to split validator keys and generate keyshares. It is easily implemented as an npm package. You can also download executable cli of this tool.

• SSV Keys Go implementation by ChainUp Apache-2.0 | Go

This is the Go implementation of the ssv-keys repository. The use case is for those who prefer generating keyshares using the Go language over Javascript/Typescript.

• SSV Key GUI by Starkeys MIT | Electron/React

StarKeys is a cross-platform SSV Key Distribution application that runs on Mac, Linux, and Windows using the Electron framework. The implementation is designed to operate fully offline. StarKeys offers a convenient and user-friendly way for users to interact with the SSV Distribution.

• SSV-Tool to Register Val. in SSV Network by Nodeplus - command-line utility for registering validators in SSV Network and estimating costs of operation | MIT | JS

To make the registration process easier, the tool manages key generation and smart contract interaction; the user only needs to provide keystore files and operator ids. This tool also provides a flexible method for estimating operation expenses to match various operation assumptions. SSV V2 is currently being tested; SSV V3 and batch processing support will be added shortly.

• Deposit Batching Smart Contract by Ebunker - smart contract allowing for deposit batching of validators | MIT | JS

A smart contract that enables depositers to stake N ETH to N / 32 validators within a single transaction, with an upper bound of the block gas-limit. It offers high convenience for large ETH stakers and also saves them transaction costs.

This technology unlocks trustless staking use cases and removes the necessity for a single party to hold & safeguard and split the full validator key.

• Rockx DKG — frost based Distributed key generation (DKG)

This repository provides a collection of services that demonstrate frost based DKG functionality, which generates a validator public key and splits shares among operators. The services included are an API service, a messenger service, a Node service for keygen initiation, results viewing, and deposit data retrieval for Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract

• HAL - The Crypto Notification System

Hal has built a custom Notify Recipe for SSV that allows SSV users to automatically monitor and get custom notifications for monitoring, operation runway, operator fee change, and many more SSV protocol-related events. Users will set up their notifications using the Hal Notify app and then receive their notifications on the channel or their preference (email, telegram, discord, etc.)

• Hellman - allerts / Hellman - repo

HellmanAlert is a monitoring of SSV.Network, which mainly provides operators/users with 7*24 hours monitoring of account balance, operation performance & status.

• GARUDA - MIT | PY, SOL Staking pool, with backend bot handling validator creation, splitting, and registration.

User stakes their ETH to a staking contract through which he is given a liquid staked derivative token called roETH. That's it! Users can just relax and wait for their roETH to compound over time and till then use the same tokens in other DeFi protocols

• FRENS - community staking app, stake represented by NFTs

Staking pools for peer-to-peer staking on trusted node operators (friends)

• Casimir - Decentralized self custody staking and asset management for Ethereum and more

Casimir is a cross-chain digital asset management platform that allows users to manage all of their digital assets from NFTs to Staking across chains and wallets in a simple UI that enables users to retain privacy and self-custody.

• Blockscape Network — KYC-compliant Ethereum staking powered by SSV

Don't let compliance and regulatory requirements get in your way. We allow any institution to securely store and stake ETH assets in an insured, audited, and reward-generating way.

• Stereum - a Node Setup GUI that built an easy SSV Network Operator setup

If you got an Ubuntu server, you can use Stereum's Node tool to connect to it and install/maintain an SSV Operator without having to access the CLI. If you have any questions about it, let us know 😄.

• ChainUp Cloud — ChainUp Cloud is an all-in-one SSV platform
