Hello,
As discussed with Lido DAO contributors, Kiln is requesting to exit the Lido Deposit Security Committee as we are no longer part of the Lido curated set.
We will keep running the Daemon until we have agreed a clear handoff plan.
Thanks

Hi all, following up on the topic above, Stakely would like to express interest in being considered for the DSM committee position.
A brief recap of our background for context:
Stakely was onboarded to the curated set in Wave 3 (approved by the DAO in December 2021) and has been running Lido mainnet validators continuously since early 2022, over 4.5 years in the set with no incidents and consistently good performance. Beyond the Curated Module, we also participate in the Community Staking Module and in Simple DVT, where we remain part of one of the super clusters. All of this has kept us closely involved with the protocol’s deposit flow and day-to-day operational processes.
On resilience and security: we are ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified, with the audited controls covering our staking infrastructure and operations. Our setup is non-custodial, runs on redundant infrastructure across multiple providers and regions with a client-diverse stack, and is backed by 24/7 monitoring with an on-call rotation, strict key-management procedures, and a tested incident-response process.
We also operate our own archive nodes on both Mainnet and Hoodi, which would help speed things up on our side and we would of course coordinate with Kiln and Lido contributors to ensure a smooth handoff before their exit.
Happy to provide any additional information the DAO may need to evaluate this.
