[SSV's New Proposal Plans to Significantly Reduce Budget, Shifting from Expansion Strategy to 'Maintenance Priority'] BlockBeats News, October 22 — SSV Labs recently submitted the DIP-59 proposal, requesting an extension of network management authorization until June 30, 2027, along with significant adjustments to the budget and scope of work. This proposal marks a shift for SSV from an expansion strategy to a 'maintenance priority' approach under market and financial pressures. On the technical roadmap, the focus in the second half of 2026 will be on completing the Boole network fork and supporting Ethereum's ePBS upgrade. In the first half of 2027, the network will enter a pure maintenance phase, with no new product development planned. On the financial side, SSV Labs has reduced its funding requests, applying for $1.5 million USDC in 2026 and 2.7 million SSV tokens in the first half of 2027 (including an option conversion mechanism). The proposal waives certain previously expired unpaid funds and requires $900,000 in assets as payment collateral. [Original Link]
