Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation is staking about 72k ETH using DVT-lite (Distributed Validator Technology).
He noted the approach allows multiple nodes to share a single validator key, enabling institutions to deploy distributed staking infrastructure more easily through automated networking and distributed key generation. Buterin said the goal is to simplify node operation and improve decentralization, ideally allowing institutions to run staking nodes with simple Docker-style deployments.
