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.

Validator Set Updates
Community Staking Module V2 Lands on Mainnet
The long-awaited CSM v2 upgrade has finally launched on mainnet. With targeted incentives to increase home staker participation, permissionless ejection of underperforming validators and a raised stake share limit to 5%, the upgrade unlocks new scale for permissionless validation in the Lido protocol.

The Future of Lido Core
In response to a dynamic and increasingly competitive Ethereum staking environment and favorable market tailwinds for ETH, contributors working on Lido Core shared a forward-looking vision for how the protocol should evolve over the next year to make Lido more robust, adaptive, and better aligned with long-term protocol sustainability.
Triggerable Withdrawals in the Lido Protocol
Now supported on-chain, the Triggerable Withdrawals framework introduces permissionless validator exits via the Execution Layer. This major upgrade reduces trust assumptions and enhances decentralization — marking a step toward a more fault-tolerant and resilient Lido protocol.
