CSM’s share of Lido TVL has been steadily increasing since the last change of the `stakeShareLimit`. Currently sitting at 6.9%, CSM is approaching the limit of 7.5%. Hence, the question pops up: “Should the CSM stake share limit be raised again?”

To answer this question, I suggest considering the following facts:

- CSM is the most decentralized staking module in Lido. Both by the total number of node operators and the maximum stake controlled by the largest operators.
- CSM offers an unpresident protection for stETH holders via its bonding system and automated penalties.
- Despite having slightly lower DAO fee compared to the curated module (~6.09% for CSM as of last CSM Oracle report vs ~6.23% for curated), CSM is expected to see DAO fee increase as more default-type operators get their keys deposited and activated. If we assume all keys from the current CSM queue are active, we can get smth like 6.18-6.2% (see [https://dune.com/dgusakov/lido-csm](https://dune.com/dgusakov/lido-csm)).

**Given all that, I believe that raising CSM’s `stakeShareLimit` from the current 7.5% to 8.5% makes total sense and should allow for the future growth of the permissionless part of the Lido protocol.**

Since `stakeShareLimit` is always changed together with `priorityExitShareThreshold`, the final set of proposed parameters is:

- **`stakeShareLimit = 850 BPS`** (8.5%)
- **`priorityExitShareThreshold = 1020 BPS`** (`stakeShareLimit * 1.2` or 10.2%)

Note: Lido DAO has already approved potential raise of CSM’s `stakeShareLimit` up to 10% [here](https://snapshot.org/#/s:lido-snapshot.eth/proposal/0xc3f92bcdf8926cfa7528ca6a979c0fdce1e4d0cfaaa72dd6410a76a2e1e55766).
