Our Team

Collin Myers is a pioneering figure in Ethereum's staking and infrastructure ecosystem, serving as CEO of DV Labs and Founder of the Obol Collective.

As a co-founder of what was originally Obol Labs—now rebranded as DV Labs—Collin has dedicated his career to advancing Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), a breakthrough that enhances the security, resilience, and decentralization of Ethereum's proof-of-stake network. DV Labs is a leading remote software development team and a founding member of the Obol Collective, focused on building cryptographic infrastructure tools and running decentralized infra for Ethereum’s largest DeFi, L2, and staking projects.

Collin founded the Obol Collective to foster a collaborative ecosystem dedicated to scaling Ethereum through distributed validators while preserving its core properties as a credible-neutral settlement layer.

Since 2021, Collin has been an active investor through Distributed Systems, where he has written checks into 32 different projects and actively supported fellow founders in their startup journeys.

Previously, Collin served as Global Head of DeFi Product Strategy at ConsenSys (Codefi Networks). In this role, he founded CodeFi Activate, a comprehensive token sale and utilization platform that streamlined capital formation for blockchain projects. He also played a key role in shaping Eth2 economics, contributed to the Eth2 Launchpad (the official staking deposit interface for Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake), and co-created the Internet Bond.

He remains highly active in the Ethereum community as @StakeETH on X (formerly Twitter), frequently speaking and advising on staking infrastructure, decentralization, and Ethereum’s future as the global neutral settlement layer.
