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.
Modules
Explore different options of running a validator using the Lido Protocol and choose the one that suits you the best: DVT, curated or permissionless.
Live (permissionless)
Community Staking
Permissionless bonded module geared towards solo and community stakers
No active onboardings
Simple DVT
Permissioned module that utilizes DVT through Obol and SSV implementations

The Future of Curated Module
The Curated Module is the backbone of Lido Core. While it has proven resilient and performant, its current was designed in an earlier staking era. Lido contributors propose an update to its incentive and risk mechanisms with the goal to create a flexible, data-informed, and self-regulating Curated set aligned with Ethereum’s evolving landscape.
ICS Round #2 Application Open Till December 22
