Hey folks! Great initiative. The [validator-swarm](https://github.com/Firstset/validator-swarm) is a CLI tool for managing CSM validators. We built this tool to scratch our own itch during the CSM testnet phase, which allowed us to scale our operation to +100 validators. We’re also heavily relying on it for managing the lifecycle of our operation on CSM mainnet, as a swiss army knife for managing our CSM operation as well as a daemon for monitoring and notifying us of exit requests. More about it in [this other post](https://research.lido.fi/t/cli-tool-for-csm-validator-management/8764). The tool can also be found in the [NO Resources & Tooling page](https://operatorportal.lido.fi/existing-operator-portal/ethereum-onboarding/no-resources-tooling) in the Lido wiki. --- _[View the full topic](https://research.lido.fi/t/community-staking-grants-2-csm-tooling/8920)._
