- Brief description of organization: FreshLIDO is part of the Fresh* family of validators, operated by Mitera BV, a private investment fund established in 2014.
- Brief description of performance track record: Our fund started investing in crypto assets in 2014, in 2016 we began operating some maternodes, in June 2018 we started validating on Tezos, and currently we validate on over a dozen other chains.
- Overview of supported networks: Tezos, Terra, Cosmos, Secret Network, Akash, Avalanche, MATIC, NEAR, Skale, Harmony, QTUM, ETH2
- Motivation for application: Liquid staking prevents stake centralization towards lower fee providers, such as exchanges and it is a necessary component of a healthy PoS ecosystem. Our assessment is that Lido is the most advanced ETH2 staking protocol with which this goal can be accomplished, e.g., more decentralization.

- History of participating in ETH testnet: We participated in several ETH testnets, not to mention in the original ICO.
