Lido Community Proposes New Staking Module Enhancements

The Lido community has introduced a new proposal for its staking module, aiming to incorporate a type of node operator known as Identified DVT Cluster (IDVTC). According to ChainCatcher, this proposal seeks to enable verified Independent Community Stakers (ICS) to collaboratively operate validators using DVT technology, enhancing operational resilience and optimizing capital efficiency. IDVTC members will benefit from reduced collateral requirements due to DVT's significant reduction of slashing and downtime risks. The proposal stipulates that each IDVTC cluster should consist of four independent ICS members, who must operate validators using Obol or SSV and generate keys through Distributed Key Generation (DKG). This feature is expected to be launched with the CSM v3 version in the second or third quarter of 2026.
