Should the Lido DAO add the 8 shortlisted Ethereum operators to its Lido on Ethereum operator set?

Between April and May 2022, the Lido Node Operator Sub-governance Group (LNOSG) reviewed and evaluated 42 onboarding applications for inclusion into the Lido on Ethereum Node Operator set.

Following the evaluation meeting on May 23, 2022, the LNOSG decided to propose the following applicants for inclusion into our node operator set for the Ethereum protocol (in alphabetical order):

Attestant Limited ChainSafe Cryptomanufaktur Kukis Global Nethermind Prysmatic Labs RockLogic GmbH Sigma Prime

This vote will run for seven days and seeks LDO holder approval of the onboarding of the above-mentioned node operators for the respective protocol, provided the operators confirm their desire to join.

Our goal with onboarding new node operators is to improve the decentralization and resilience of the Lido protocol, as well as bringing on new organizations with strong skill sets and alignment with Lido’s values to help grow liquid staking on the networks the Lido protocol supports.
