SSV Labs submitted proposal DIP-59 on Oct. 21 through the governance forum of SSV Network, an Ethereum Distributed Validator Technology, or DVT, protocol. The proposal says grant activity has narrowed versus prior years and the original plan because of current market conditions and the DAO’s financial position. Under the draft, the team would sharply scale back its previous development roadmap and shift its focus away from new product development toward network maintenance, security, and compatibility work tied to Ethereum upgrades. DIP-59 also seeks to revise and extend arrangements related to DIP-31. The proposed service term would run through the end of June 2027 and would include follow-up installment arrangements. The filing also disclosed that the third and final grant payment specified under DIP-31, totaling 1,736,111.11 SSV, has not yet been paid.
