The vision for Lido CSM V2 is here ✨
TLDR:
• Scale CSM to a double-digit percentage share of Lido stake.
• Increase meaningful participation of Community Stakers.
• Keep CSM rewards share structure competitive.
👇
Since its launch, CSM has onboarding 300+ independent operators, playing a crucial role in the decentralization of the Lido protocol.
Adding to this, CSM has enabled permissionless entry to the Lido on Ethereum protocol, in many ways strengthening resilience and robustness of the protocol.
Now it's time to take it a step further.
CSM V2 is built around 3 core goals:
1. Scale CSM to a double-digit percentage share of the Lido on Ethereum protocol;
2. Further participation of independent Community Stakers;
3. Ensure CSM’s rewards share structure remains competitive with other staking modules.
Goal 1: Scale CSM to a double-digit percentage share of Lido stake
To grow responsibly, the following features are required:
• A mechanism against systematic underperformance of validators;
• Improved precision of Performance Oracle;
• Optimized reward structures;
• EIP-7002 integration;
Goal 2: Facilitate meaningful participation from Community Stakers
CSM V2 aims to be more welcoming to true independent operators while discouraging professionals or large operators.
The key idea? Entry Gates.
Entry Gates introduce customized entry pathways for different types of Node Operators, enabling type-based features.
With Entry Gates, a potential strategy to incentivize the growth of Community Stakers is to:
• Develop mechanisms to allow for opt-in identification of Community Stakers.
• Allow them to join CSM with special types.
• Offer a set of limited benefits for these types(e.g., priority deposit queue eligibility and beneficial reward share structures).
Goal 3: Keep CSM rewards competitive
Currently, CSM has a flat rewards structure, with the module fee set to 6% and all CSM validator rewards distributed among CSM Node Operators.
To remain attractive to independent operators and sustain competitiveness within the ecosystem, it’s proposed to:
• Introduce a variable Node Operator reward share based on operator type and validator count.
• Reduce the current default reward share.
• Maintain a balanced approach that supports both capital efficiency & decentralization.
Your input matters!
The future of Lido CSM is shaped by Ethereum, for Ethereum.
