Dear Lido Community,
welcome to our monthly update on the recent actions and improvements we have made to our Ethereum staking infrastructure. We believe in maintaining transparency and keeping you informed about the changes that directly impact your staking experience.
IMPROVED VALIDATOR CLIENT CONFIGURATION
We have successfully completed the migration of all keys to our validator clients. This transition ensures smoother operations and better resilience in case of any unexpected events. Potential failures will now be automatically handled through our failover beacon nodes configuration, aiming at minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent staking performance.
HARDWARE EXTENSION AND PERFORMANCE BOOST
To further enhance our infrastructure’s capabilities, we have added additional cluster members to our setup, resulting in improved performance and increased reliability. These upgrades enable us to handle larger staking volumes and provide you with a more robust and stable staking environment.
Further hardware extension and exchange for faulty hardware are planned for this month.
NO FURTHER KEY MIGRATION
Since the last post from July we did not migrate any more keys as this was no longer necessary.
REIMBURSEMENT ON THE WAY
Following the April slashing incident the reimbursement of the validators concerned is still in progress, please see details here:
DAO SNAPSHOT VOTE ENDING TOMORROW
Concerning lifting our key limit that resulted from the April slashing incident there is a DAO snapshot vote which we kindly ask you all to participate in. When voting please consider our ongoing contribution of the Etherum blockchain and bear in mind that the current key limit might impede our future work, both outlayed in detail here:

We thank you all for your confidence in our work so far and are looking forward to your decision on Thursday, as we need clarity to proceed with our development for a safe Ethereum environment. Thank you for being a part of the Lido community and for your continued trust in RockLogic!
