Congrats to DVStakers team! The grant will continue to help them setting up Ethereum nodes and educating solo stakers.

Wow, seriously, Eridian and James from DVStakers flew to Kenya in July 2023 to set up an Ethereum node and spread awareness about DVT. Respect! 🔥

Yeah, absolutely. And really astonishing that it works so well in a low-resource community with solar power and a StarLink connection!

I’d even consider this as development support as the project brought electricity and high-speed Internet to a community where there previously was none.
