Embracing the Future of Staking with Obol Techne Credential Holders and Lido’s CSM
Hey Lido Community! 
In our previous communication, we expressed our enthusiastic support for the Community Staking Module (CSM) and its potential to revolutionise Ethereum staking. As pioneers in Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), we at Obol Network highlighted how DVT can enhance the resilience and performance of solo stakers, thereby levelling the playing field and providing the technical infrastructure necessary for a more inclusive staking environment.
Recap of Our Ongoing Commitment
Our commitment to the CSM is driven by our core mission to advance the Ethereum ecosystem through innovative, decentralised solutions. Distributed validators (DVs), which we’ve championed and refined, represent a critical step forward in achieving these goals. By ensuring uptime, security, and performance, DVs are ideally suited to support the robust and decentralised nature of the CSM.
Why Techne Credential Holders are Ideal for CSM
The Obol Techne Credential Program is designed to identify and elevate those who have demonstrated skill and reliability in operating distributed validators. These individuals are proficient, and uphold industry standards and commitment to the Ethereum staking ecosystem.
We see Techne Credential holders as prime candidates to be node operators within the CSM. Their proven experience ensures that the CSM can achieve high-quality adoption right from the start, aligning with Lido’s mission of making staking simple, secure, and decentralized.
Supporting Early Adoption
To facilitate this, we encourage early adopters of the CSM to consider Techne Credential holders for node operation roles. These operators bring a wealth of experience and a track record of high performance, backed by on-chain credentials that attest to their capabilities.
