Brief Intro
-----------

Diva is an Ethereum Liquid Staking protocol powered by Distributed Validator Technology (DVT).

It is a fully integrated protocol that connects Stakers and Operators:

*   Stakers receive a Liquid Staking Token (divETH), which automatically accrues value from Ethereum's staking rewards without needing to run any infrastructure.
    
*   Operators run a Distributed Validation (Diva) client to fulfill staking duties and earn additional rewards.
