**Proposal Overview:**  
This project proposes the development of a **batch registration tool** designed to streamline the **validator registration process** for the **Lido Community Staking Module (CSM) contract**.  
The current CSM limitation of **25 deposit data entries per upload** significantly impedes users who need to register **hundreds of validators**. By leveraging **batch processing and data splitting** , this tool addresses that bottleneck, **reducing the time required for manual data segmentation and minimizing human error**.

This tool will help **reduce operational overhead, lower interaction costs, and enhance efficiency** for validators, particularly for **institutional holders, DAOs, and high-volume stakers**. With its impact on validator onboarding, it aligns with the **Community Staking initiative’s goal** of providing useful CSM-related tooling contributions that help node operators **understand and use the protocol more effectively**.

Additionally, this tool will be developed as a **CLI tool powered by Node.js** , with plans for a **standalone SDK implementation**. It is designed to be **accessible to all users** , regardless of whether they use **SafeStake, another DVT provider, or a different staking setup**. The initial demo uses a **temporary CLI** for internal development automation, but the long-term goal is to enable **seamless validator registration** across the staking ecosystem.

**Key Features:**

**Batch processing** to bypass the **25-entry upload limitation**  **Data splitting** for easier uploads.  
**Minimization of manual segmentation** to reduce human error **Reduction of operational overhead and interaction costs**.  
**Increased efficiency** for high-volume validators and institutional holders.

**Funding Request:**  
This work should take approximately **2 weeks** and should cost **$8K paid in DAI**.

Thanks for the proposal!

As a CSM developer, I believe that a batch registration tool for CSM can be handy for advanced operators while being too complicated for a wide audience. Also, I know that almost all large CSM operators already have custom scripts or tools for that. Hence, I suggest not supporting this grant proposal.
