**DVT Home Staker Program begins with EthStaker + Stakesaurus**
===============================================================

Welcome to the 30 new Operators beginning their journey in the world of nodes, traditional validating, and DVT! Led by none other than [Nixo](https://twitter.com/nixorokish) — Executive Director of [EthStaker](https://ethstaker.cc/), and [Stakesaurus](https://twitter.com/stakesaurus) — Home Staking expert + Ethereum maxi.

This exciting program offers an 8-week curriculum, featuring resources designed to transform new or novice individuals into more comfortable and equipped participants in securing the blockchain. Upon successfully completing the program requirements, the cost of the node for the user will be subsidized.

**Diva is On-board for #TeamStaking with Aragon!**
==================================================

In the spirit of decentalizing Ethereum Staking, we are excited about the new #TeamStaking program headed by [Aragon](https://aragon.org/), whose aim is to build better, together. As Diva is known as the “Layer 2 of staking,” we believe that teams who learn DVT together, build better together.
