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
No active onboardings
Curated v2
Allow-listed bonded module for professional staking providers. Explore the landscape proposal focusing on maintaining Lido Core competitive, sustainable, and aligned with Ethereum’s decentralization goals
Validator Set Updates
Lido Core Upgrade
One of the most significant evolutions of Lido Core since the V2 upgrade is now underway, making the protocol aligned with Ethereum’s evolving validator architecture. Curated Module v2 is live on mainnet, with Node Operators onboarding and the first validator keys deposited ahead of stake migration from the legacy Curated Module. Together with Staking Router v3 and CSMv3, the upgrade lays the foundation for a more resilient, and sustainable Lido Core.
0x02 CSM Coming
Lido DAO approved a dedicated 0x02 CSM instance, paving the way for home and community stakers to permissionlessly run validators with effective balances of up to 2,048 ETH. Alongside this, the total permissionless staking capacity was approved to increase to 20% of Lido Core, creating more room for independent operators and supporting their broader participation in Ethereum validation.
EIP-8363: Tapered Issuance Burn
A newly introduced EIP proposes Tapered Issuance Burn, a change to ETH issuance curve. As the proposal will have implications for staking economics across Ethereum, Lido Node Operators and the broader community are encouraged to explore the proposed solution and contribute their perspectives to the ongoing Ethereum Magicians discussion.
