Lido Node Operator Portal
Node Operators
Node Operators (NOs) enable the liquid staking tokens that Lido offers to users. The better the underlying operator sets are, the more robust, resilient, and performant the underlying protocol. Good operator sets boost the effectiveness of our business development efforts, increase community acceptance, and reduce protocol risks.
Depending on the Lido protocol in question, there may be slightly different requirements, expectations, and obligations from Lido NOs.
