Dear Lido Community,
Welcome to our monthly news, where we provide you with updates on our efforts to establish a secure Ethereum environment. Here’s a summary of notable developments since our last update.
## Lido x SSV Mainnet Cohort 2
Continued active participation and management of Thoughtful Tiger Cluster. Completed further task outlines by Lido Simple DVT Mainnet Guide.
Advancements & Result:
- Successfully finished first batch of 20 validators
- Reported emerging issues to Lido and SSV teams and implemented provided fixes.
- Monitored the health of SSV nodes with DKG services of all cluster members.
- Provided support to cluster members including node and service configuration, log collection etc
Next Steps:
- Member: Continue to perform required cluster member duties and proactively monitor the health and performance of SSV nodes and DKG services
- Cluster Co-Ordinator: Maintain open communication with other cluster members, offering support and guidance as needed. Proceed with onboarding subsequent batches of validator according to Lido guide
## Lido x SSV Testnet Round 4:
Continued participation in Journalistic Mama Cluster. Completed further tasks as outlined by Lido Simple DVT Testnet Guide, focusing on node maintenance and key management
Advancements & Result:
- Upgraded SSV services to the latest version
- Continuously monitored the health of the SSV node and DKG services
- Verified keys and signed transactions ensuring active participation in the cluster
Next Steps:
- Perform required cluster member duties and proactively monitor and maintain node health to ensure optimal performance.
## Lido x SafeStake Pilot Testnet Round 1:
Successfully completed Round 1 of the SafeStake Pilot Testnet as part of the Clever Coyote Cluster
Advancements & Result:
- Actively participated in Round 1 of the SafeStake Pilot Testnet, fulfilling all requirements and contributing to the testing phase
## Lido x Obol: Frolicsome Frog
Collaborated with other cluster members to investigate an incident where a block was proposed with incorrect fee recipient.
Advancements & Result:
- We analyzed our node configurations & logs and shared our finding with the cluster.
## Block Production issue – Teku
Identified a compatibility issue between Teku VC version 24.8 and Teku BN version 24.10.1, where JSON block production fails.
Advancements & Result:
- Collaborated with the Teku team to identify the root cause and potential solutions
- Received workaround, enable SSZ (default) block production by removing the --beacon-node-ssz-blocks-enabled=false flag from the VC configuration.
Next Steps:
- Stay informed about any further updates from Teku team regarding the same
Refer: [Teku VC Json block production flow is missing a required header · Issue #8753 · Consensys/teku · GitHub](https://github.com/Consensys/teku/issues/8753)
## Enhanced System reliability
Added new more reliable hypervisors to our infrastructure. These will act as a backup for our older systems ensuring smooth operations of StereumPlus.
Advancements & Result:
- These hypervisors will serve as a fallback system in case of issue with existing hosts.
Next Steps:
- Monitor the performance and stability of both new and old systems
## New Centralized Logging and Monitoring System
We have implemented a new centralized system for logging and monitoring for our Data Centers.
Advancements & Result:
- Implemented rollout and rollback procedures for new systems internally
Next Steps:
- Conduct thorough testing before proceeding with full deployment
## Lido general:
**Oracle allowlist update:** Applied Oracle allowed list changes to all Lido validator ejector instance for holesky
**Fullnode Upgrades:** Upgraded all Lido x SSV fullnodes for both mainnet and testnet
**MEV relay Update:** Updated MEV relays on all instances to improve performance and ensure optimal reward collection
**SSH Key deployment update:** Updated our SSH key deployment for Lido instances to enhance security and streamline access management.
**Debugging ExitSigner:** Improving ExitSigner for message generation and ensuring accurate exit scheduling.
Best Regards,
RockLogic Team

I recall you’ve open sourced the Slashing Guard you developed in the past. Is this a also tool you’ve open sourced?

Ah that’s great, I’ve added it here to the NO tooling page on the portal as well [NO Resources & Tooling](https://operatorportal.lido.fi/existing-operator-portal/ethereum-onboarding/no-resources-tooling)
