# What is this API?

### What is this API?

This API is for creating and managing [Distributed Validators](../learn/intro/key-concepts.md#distributed-validator). This API works in tandem with Obol's [Distributed Validator Launchpad](https://launchpad.obol.org), a dApp designed to allow people to authenticate their counterparties and agree to the terms of a Distributed Validator Cluster. This API can also be used via the [Obol-SDK](../sdk/index.md).

Read more about Obol and [how to use the Launchpad](../learn/intro/launchpad.md) in these docs.
