Hello SSV Community. We are proud to announce the testnet launch of our staking platform Casimir! Casimir is the first and only non-custodial, non-LST ETH staking platform that does not require 32ETH. If you have Goerli ETH and would like to try it out, please head to [https://app.dev.casimir.co](https://app.dev.casimir.co)

Please note that we are using the SSV DKG to ensure improved self-custody so at this time exits (withdrawals) are not enabled.

For more updates, start at our landing page: [https://casmir.co](https://casmir.co) and join our community on Discord! [Casimir](https://discord.gg/br3Sqxvzct)

Hello SSV community, we are proud to announce continued feature development as well as completion of another audit, completing milestone 3.

Our added functionality includes customized restaking. Take control of your restake and individually choose which AVS’s to select while gaining native AVS rewards. As AVS’s launch, you are able to add them to your portfolio without the need to wait for an LRT to support them. All built on SSV nodes as the backend ETH operator and EigenPod.

We are close to public testnet launch and are tentatively planning launch at the end of October.

A copy of our newest audit can be found here: [Casimir Audit 2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AAn0Z7RYm3IQT5L1Z4okTT6iQmthtXk0/view?usp=drive_link)

[A video of our AVS selection funcationality can be seen here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W20BxixZriOCRNyBKPpRBXLoR1Pi9_U6/view?usp=sharing).

We look forward to continuing to update the SSV community as we near completion and launch!
