Pier Two have successfully completed Milestone 1 and would liked to share the GitHub repository which contains instructions and tooling that allows a user to deploy an SSV node.
Following Milestone 1, Pier Two is excited to share that Milestone 2 was completed and is live. Allowing a user to register and deploy an SSV node on GCP using Terraform and Ansible, on Holesky (testnet) and now, mainnet. The GitHub repository and resources are available here: ssv-node-deployment.
The final milestone (#3) of TVL Target Reached is completed. We had committed to operating 25 validators. We have far exceeded that. 4,440 in total.
Below is a list of active Pier Two SSV Operators, as well as the associated validator count:
I fully support this project. It’s beneficial for the SSV operator to utilize the IAC solution, as efficient and reliable deployment is essential. The standardized setup minimizes errors, enhances stability for the SSV operator, ultimately impacting the validator’s APY and adding significant value.
