Simple DVT Updates

February kicked off with the AMA session featuring Lido contributors delving into discussions about Simple DVT trials and solo-staking initiatives.

Following that, the Lido x Obol testnet concluded, exceeding all minimum performance benchmarks required for its transition to the mainnet. In the middle of February, the Lido DAO voted in favor of deploying the Simple DVT module, and the module was successfully launched on the mainnet!

The first participants of the Lido Simple DVT Module on the mainnet have already been selected and are expected to start running validators utilizing the protocol in the coming weeks.
