Thank you to the Kiln team for bringing this request to the forums and for your continued diligence as a DSM member over the last years.

After discussions with both the Kiln and Stakely teams, contributors from the Node Operator Mechanisms workstream are in agreement that Stakely would be a great choice to serve as a replacement for Kiln in the DSM.

Unless there are any objections to this replacement, Lido DAO contributors will seek to facilitate the replacement process over the next two months, including a testing process on the Hoodi test network, and the mainnet replacement ideally being completed following DAO vote in September.
