We’ll be releasing a second shortlist proposal for the DAO to consider. Delegations from Lido are also subject to the DAO’s approval as well as specific performance requirements, which were recently formalized in the Lido on Terra baseline. At the time of the Validators Registry update (to add operators), validators that do not meet the baseline in terms of block signing and oracle voting won’t be whitelisted.
The idea is to enforce baseline requirements at the time of the on-chain changes to the Validators Registry, and on an ongoing basis. We are currently preparing an update regarding some of the validators from the current set who are falling short of the baseline.
