Lido Node Operator Portal
Node Operators
Node Operators (NOs) enable stETH, the liquid staking token powered by the Lido protocol. The better the underlying operator sets are, the more robust, resilient, and performant the underlying protocol. Good operator sets improve the resiliency of Ethereum, increase community acceptance, and reduce protocol risks.

Lido DAO contributors published a forum post that outlines the scope of CSM v2, the next step in CSM evolution, which aims to expand permissionless participation, refine the reward structure, and introduce features like Entry Gates to better support independent Community Stakers.
Transition from Holesky to Hoodi
The main components of the Lido Protocol have successfully transitioned to the Hoodi testnet, and the Pectra hardfork has been thoroughly tested on the new testnet instance.
Lido Protocol Compatibility with Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade
Lido contributors published the second blog post that describes the future considerations around implementing EIP-7251 and EIP-7002 into the Lido Protocol.
