Lido DAO, the proposal to add Chorus One as a node operator is live and can be found here: [https://mainnet.lido.fi/#/lido-dao/0x2e59a20f205bb85a89c53f1936454680651e618e/](https://mainnet.lido.fi/#/lido-dao/0x2e59a20f205bb85a89c53f1936454680651e618e/) Should this pass, there will be a second vote within the next 48h to suggest a limit number of validator keys to validate with. - **Organization name:** Chorus One - **Organization website:** [http://chorus.one](http://chorus.one) - **Organization Github:** [https://github.com/ChorusOne](https://github.com/ChorusOne) - **Organization social channels:** [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ChorusOne), [Telegram](https://t.me/ChorusOne) - **Organization location:** Switzerland - **Organization size:** 10-100 - **Brief description of organization:** Chorus One is a staking provider and building solutions to facilitate blockchain interoperability. - **Brief description of performance track record:** Starting as a genesis validator in the Cosmos ecosystem in 2018, we have to date helped launch and maintain over a dozen networks. - **Overview of supported networks:** E.g. Solana, NEAR, Chainlink, Celo, SKALE - full list [https://chorus.one/networks](https://chorus.one/networks) - **Motivation for application:** Liquid staking is needed to combat Proof-of-Stake centralizing around large centralized custodial entities. Lido is the most advanced ETH2 staking protocol with decentralization at its core. - **Security set up for ETH staking:** Battletested Kubernetes-based multi-vendor and multi-region infrastructure. - **History of participating in ETH testnet:** We participated in the Pyrmont and earlier testnets and have been operating Ethereum infrastructure for over a year. ---

Can vouch for Chorus as pioneers of liquid staking. Their [research paper](https://github.com/ChorusOne/liquid-staking) is the best read available on topic in the space. Definitely yay for me. ---
