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: > [@Reimbursement for RockLogic GmbH 2023-06-09 Ethereum Validator Incident](https://research.lido.fi/t/reimbursement-for-rocklogic-gmbh-2023-06-09-ethereum-validator-incident/4993): > > Overview The RockLogic GmbH validators, run as part of the Lido liquid staking protocol, failed to validate for a period of approximately 9 hours 30 minutes on June 9 2023. This impacted staking rewards on the Lido protocol.

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: > [@Slashing Incident involving RockLogic GmbH Validators - April 13, 2023](https://research.lido.fi/t/slashing-incident-involving-rocklogic-gmbh-validators-april-13-2023/4399/32): > > As ususal with @Izzy , I find his analysis and description very good, concise and I agree both in the assessment (from what I have read) and in the suggested consequence.
