Dear readers,

We are thrilled to share LIP-33. Community Staking Module v3 and Curated Module v2 - [lido-improvement-proposals/LIPS/lip-33.md at develop · lidofinance/lido-improvement-proposals · GitHub](https://github.com/lidofinance/lido-improvement-proposals/blob/develop/LIPS/lip-33.md). The proposal aimed at bringing the ideas from the original post in the thread to life.

Meet Curated Module v2. A brand new staking module for the curated operators in the Lido protocol. Being based on the battle-tested code of the Community Staking Module, it features several major features that will drastically improve the Lido protocol:

- Support for `0x02` validators with a dedicated rails for stake migration from the soon-to-be legacy Curated Module v1.
- Node Operator types combined with the sub-node operator framework, allowing for a precise key and stake management within a single real-world entity willing to run different validation setups.
- Weighted stake allocation. A novel approach to stake distribution between Node Operators that accounts for the differences between Node Operator Types, and enables future addition of the Validation Market.
- All of the cool CSM features like per-validator bond, automated penalties, fair rewards allocation with pull-based claim, and many more.

**Note:** LIP-33 covers basics of the new Curated Module v2 and features planned for [Phase 1](https://research.lido.fi/t/future-of-the-curated-module-cmv2-landscape/10929#p-23546-h-6-features-overview-phase-1-7). Phase 2 will have its own LIP later.

We seek community feedback on the proposal before putting it to a vote. Cheers!
