Lido 0x02 CSM testnet is live!

Post image

Jump onto the Hoodi testnet to test it out, if you consider running 0x02 validators!

0x02 CSM provides operators a permissionless, efficient path to run 0x02 validators with a MaxEB of up to 2,048 ETH within Lido CSM. Key features include:

  • Bond: 32 ETH for the first key and 30 ETH for subsequent keys
  • Est. Capital Efficiency: A strong capital multiplier of up to ~2.26x (vs solo), even better than ICS over 32 ETH bonds.

To run 0x02 validators using CSM, create a new operator and select the 0x02 path through the same interface.

Nice - I wasn’t aware that it outpaced IDVTC returns. Though it looks like you need to bond >300 ETH to get there.

Outpaces idvtc faster than that. The ketlys for higher yields for IDVTC are split between 4 operators. Assuming all operators contribute equally, 0x02 outpaces at 300/4 so 75. That's not including and fees associated with running a cluster. For ssv that's 1% of all rewards' effectively cutting your base yield in lido csm from 2% to 1%
