- The plan packages validator software in containers with automatic peer discovery and distributed key generation to simplify deployment.
- The design uses one shared validator key across multiple machines to provide near‑instant failover and reduce downtime penalties.

- Network data show 37.5 million ETH staked and an entry queue of about 3.2 million ETH with a ~55‑day wait, while the Foundation's 72,000 ETH remains queued for March 19 activation.
