Submitted by the NOM contributor workstream on behalf of the Lido Node Operator Sub-Governance Group (LNOSG):
The Lido Node Operator Sub-Governance Group (LNOSG) has reviewed recent business changes affecting the Node Operator (NO) Attestant BVI Limited. This proposal outlines the results of the LNOSG discussion and asks voters to consider the matter.
Background and Context
Node Operator Attestant BVI Limited was recently acquired by Bitwise. According to Attestant, the infrastructure will remain unchanged in terms of deployment (bare metal), and the geographical and jurisdictional location will stay the same. The only change is that Attestant BVI and its ultimate shareholder are now Bitwise, rather than the Attestant team themselves. The following proposal outlines the LNOSG’s thoughts after considering the information provided by Attestant on the forum.
Conclusion
The LNOSG has reviewed the provided information related to the transition and found no reason to propose ceasing the operator’s participation in Lido on Ethereum Curated set.
Proposal
Allow Attestant BVI Limited to continue Node Operations in Lido on Ethereum as-is.
Next Steps
This proposal is now open for community feedback for a week. If no major objections are raised within this timeframe, the LNOSG suggests moving forward with a vote to ratify.
