Most DeFi infrastructure is a broken nightmare for most developers and protocols.

After powering Lido, EtherFi, and >$1 billion in ETH, @Obol_Collective is going after the entire Web3.

Here's how Obol Stack will change ALL DECENTRALIZED SYSTEMS 🧵

1/➣ What's Obol Stack?

The Obol Stack is a modular framework for building and running decentralized applications on one or multiple machines.

Think of it like an app store, but for infrastructure. Run a validator, sequencer, DePin network, or AI node? Install it like an app.

- No cloud lock-in

- No DevOps nightmares

- Just full-stack sovereignty made simple

➣ Key Features

- Built on Kubernetes & managed with Helm. It packages complex systems like Ethereum validators, L2 rollups, and AI agents into easy, app store-like components.

- Networks, protocols, and builders can package and publish decentralized apps and infrastructure easily.

- The Obol App Store is a growing registry for modular systems (Obol Apps). Builders can publish, and operators can discover and deploy them.

- The Stack operates locally, in clusters, on bare metal, or across clouds without vendor lock-in.

- Open by default, sovereign by design. All packages are composable, forkable, and verifiable. You decide what to run and how.

➣ Why It Matters

It's not just about $ETH stakers. Obol covers the entire Web3 stack:

- Ethereum validators

- Rollups

- Sequencers

- DA layers

- AVSs

- Oracles

- AI agents, etc.

Because most infrastructure is composable, it can lead to shared issues such as:

- Centralized RPCs

- Fragile Docker setups

- DevOps lock-in

- Sovereign infra is a nightmare

It doesn't impact just devs and protocols, it's also for solo stakers, node hosts, DePIN contributors, etc. If you're involved in DeFi, you've likely stumbled across these issues, even if you didn't realize it at the time.

Huge s/o to the @Obol_Collective team for working towards a more sustainable and effortless future!
