First Mainnet Participants Selected for Lido Simple DVT Module
139 net-new node operators have been chosen to join the Lido protocol through the @ObolNetwork onboarding, marking a significant increase. Out of 195 testnet participants evaluated, 161 have been selected across various categories. These candidates demonstrated strong performance and reliability. The selected operators will run nodes in 36 countries using diverse infrastructure. Over 250 new Node Operators are expected to run DVT based validators in the first few months, representing a 700% increase. More stakers are anticipated to be proposed after the @SSV_Network testnet concludes. Interested parties can apply for the next testnets scheduled for March.
"I love the smell of DVT in the morning!" The @LidoFinance Simple DVT module has been deployed, and in the coming weeks clusters including over 100 community stakers (solos and small groups) will deploy Distributed Validators on mainnet, powered by @ObolNetwork and @ssv_network.
The first mainnet participants of the Lido Simple DVT Module have been selected. Onboarding of the @ObolNetwork candidates would see 139 net-new node operators join the Lido protocol - a ~400% increase even before considering @ssv_network candidates 📈 research.lido.fi/t/staking-rout…
