Update the Lido on Ethereum Validator Exits SNOP to v3 Yes. Rationale seems sensible to me and brings us up to date wrt latest technical developments, both here and within Ethereum more broadly. I note no disagreements or issues raised on the research forum. Empower Lido Ecosystem Foundation to Lead Bridge-Related Partnerships Yes. In terms of efficiency it makes sense for LE to be able to operate independently and without micro-management in terms of the DAO. The BSC seems a sensible bulwark...| Lido Governance - Latest posts
Proposal for Updating Lido on Ethereum Validator Exits SNOP to v3 We voted For: The v3 Exits SNOP is a timely, pragmatic upgrade. It aligns operator responsibilities with the coming triggerable-withdrawals flow, incorporates Pectra-informed terminology, and extends clear expectations across Simple DVT, Community Staking, and future modules. We support retaining explicit service-level expectations around exit responsiveness that were well-received in earlier iterations—operators themselves n...| Lido Governance - Latest posts
PERCH Proposal: Request for Lido operators to test TOOL on Hoodi Summary This proposal asks Lido operators to integrate TOOL on the Hoodi network.

Dear Lido community, This post proposes v3 of the Lido protocol Standard Node Operator Protocol (SNOP) on Validator Exits. Its predecessor, the Validator Exits SNOP v2, was introduced at a time when validator withdrawal mechanics on Ethereum were still relatively static, Lido protocol exits were primarily aligned with post-Capella mechanics, and the idea of triggerable withdrawals had not yet been formalized. With the introduction of Triggerable Withdrawals for the Lido protocol in the near h...| Lido Governance - Latest posts

Hi everyone! TL;DR As part of the Triggerable Withdrawals upgrade on mainnet, we’ve reworked the “stuck” functionality. Previously, Oracles were responsible for reporting stuck keys, which were then used to penalize node operators. We’ve now made this functionality permissionless and developed a bot that will automatically report such delays. I propose that the Gas Supply Committee compensate gas fees for proving validator late actions. Tech details As described in LIP-30, staking mod...| Lido Governance - Latest posts

Establish the stVaults Committee Vote: For Rationale: We voted for this proposal as it proposes a governance mechanism that’s a must for Lido V3. The stVaults Committee seems well-balanced, with expertise from contributors from different areas of the protocol. Their responsibilities are well-defined, and relying on Easy Track makes sense. Lastly, the Committee members seem to be qualified for their role. NEST - Network Economic Support Tokenomics Vote: For Rationale: We voted for this propo...| Lido Governance - Latest posts
Establish the stVaults Committee --- A temporary committee is being proposed that will adjust the parameters of new stVaults within Lido v3. This seems like a good solution for setting up the new system, but there are no clear deadlines for this “temporary” committee, and therefore no elections for its members. It seems like a useful feature, but it lacks decentralization and governance from the DAO. So, I expect a clearer timeline for the on-chain phase. --- Vote: FOR Platform: Snapshot| Lido Governance - Latest posts
TL;DR This proposal outlines implementing the Triggerable Withdrawal framework within the Lido protocol to enable permissionless, secure, and verifiable validator exits via the Execution Layer - enhancing the protocol’s fault tolerance, reducing trust assumptions, and paving the way for truly permissionless staking in Lido. Abstract The Triggerable Withdrawals (TW) mechanism is a critical extension of Lido’s architecture, enabling the initiation of validator exits without requiring the in...| Lido Governance
Preface This is a follow-up thread for the already published rewards distribution architecture decision record. Today we present an on-chain design implementing the chosen options.

The purpose of this thread is to collect discussion and community alignment with regards to min-bid usage by Node Operators participating in in the Lido Protocol. As a start, I propose we begin the discussion based on Irina’s post from the relay voting proposal thread. In general I think that ~28-40% of blocks produced locally sounds about high but isn’t a prohibitive starting point, although a maximum APR decrease of 15% sounds high, given that it’s currently not easily discernable wha...| Lido Governance
Summary NEST is a modular extension of STONKS that, when filled with stETH, incentivizes a keeper to fire a STONKS Cowswap order of stETH for LDO and routes it back to the Lido DAO treasury, effectively taking it out of circulation. The net effect it has is essentially to change the respective share over governance rights that holders enjoy, including over future ‘value distribution’ proposals. Introducing NEST NEST proposes a modular and future-proof system that can automatically trigger...| Lido Governance
Yielding Yellowthroat Incident Report - 24/08/25 On August 24th, it came to the attention of SDVT coordinators that narko2t1 from the SDVT Yielding Yellowthroat Obol cluster had their node operator address compromised (the Individual Manager address, which is the same as their Rewards Address). This is an address related to cluster participation and receipt of rewards, and is not attached to any kinds of validator operations. While the scope of the hack is still under investigation, as the cl...| Lido Governance
Summary With the increasing adoption of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) on Ethereum, discussion has increased within the Lido Node Operator set regarding how Curated Node Operators might start to utilize the technology. In light of the adoption of DVT across Ethereum, its strong performance both in SDVT and CSM, as well as in other staking protocols, NOM workstream contributors would like to propose that: Node Operators in the Curated Set may opt-in to intra-operator DVT setups (utiliz...| Lido Governance

TLDR The Ethereum staking industry has become increasingly competitive in the 4.5 years since the launch of Lido. Especially for large amounts of stake over long time periods, Node Operators are now able to offer staking, including (partial) insurance, with take rates as low as 1-3% in some cases. Given the increasingly competitive nature of the market, generally favorable market tailwinds for ETH, and the need for the Lido protocol to become both more robust and adaptive to market conditions...| Lido Governance
TL;DR V3 is near-ready. Following the whitepaper vision, the first production-ready Lido V3 build has run through two public testnets and is in late audits. Final testnet and follow-up changes from the audits are still to come. stVaults introduce a non-custodial, over-collateralized way to choose how and with whom to stake while still minting stETH. The existing 1:1 staking path continues as the Core Pool. Why it matters. V3 turns the Lido protocol from a single pool into Ethereum staking inf...| Lido Governance
Following an investigation yesterday regarding a Solana incident involving SwissBorg, Kiln has decided to take precautionary measures to safeguard client assets across all networks it runs validators in.

Community Stakers Identification Framework The Community Staking Module (CSM) Early Adoption mechanics have proven immensely effective by ushering in the onboarding of 340 Node Operators to the Lido NO Set while preventing major sybil-related incidents. Since becoming fully permissionless, CSM has seen high demand from large players, leaving less room for independent stakers to join CSM and get their validators deposited to. In CSM v2, this is meant to be addressed through the implementation ...| Lido Governance

In this communication, Lido DAO Community Staking team contributors are inviting proposals from software providers specializing in node/validator setup to enhance their existing tools by incorporating a user-friendly pathway for community stakers to engage with the Lido Community Staking Module (CSM) and Lido Simple DVT Module (SDVTM) as Node Operators (NO). Parties interested in developing an integration with CSM and/or SDVTM should share a proposal with an overview of a potential integratio...| Lido Governance
Lido DAO’s mission is to make Ethereum staking simple, secure, and decentralized. Lido on Ethereum launched with a curated validator set, which has enabled the protocol to grow to its current size robustly but leaves some room for improvement from the perspective of allowing a bigger range of independent node operators to more easily interact with the protocol. Recent long-range goals approved by the Lido DAO (proposed by @Hasu) suggest the introduction of a permissionless staking module. G...| Lido Governance
