## obol What is Obol? The Obol Collective is the first and only decentralized validator ecosystem, maximizing the security, opportunities, and rewards for all protocols and operators by providing technology, community, and on-ramps for validators. At its core are distributed validators—an approach enabling “squad staking” to make Ethereum staking more secure, resilient, and decentralized. The project’s flagship product, the Charon middleware client, allows multiple nodes to work together in operating a single validator, significantly reducing the risks associated with traditional staking methods. This product has caught the attention of prominent figures in the crypto space, including Vitalik Buterin, who has highlighted Obol’s Squad Staking as a crucial solution to Ethereum’s centralization challenges in his recent blog and even during speeches at Devcon. What sets Obol apart is its unique economic model, which channels 1% of staking rewards from distributed validators back into the ecosystem through retroactive funding. This creates a sustainable flywheel effect that encourages wider adoption of distributed validators while supporting the growth of the broader Ethereum consensus layer. **Temperature:** 0° Visit the airdrop page for full participation instructions. *Source: [airdrops.io](https://airdrops.io/obol/)*
