Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) refers to an Ethereum proof-of-stake validator that operates across multiple nodes or machines. This effectively mitigates some of the vulnerabilities inherent in single-point validation. In a scenario where less than 33% of the nodes participating in a distributed validator cluster become offline, the active nodes that remain can still achieve consensus on what to sign and generate valid signatures for their staking responsibilities. This is a widely adopted approach for reducing downtime in systems.
