Summary
This update serves as the first performance report for the 10 Lido x Obol Cohort 3 clusters active on mainnet via the Simple DVT Module. Given overall solid performance results, it is proposed that the key limits for these clusters are raised to 80 validators, bringing them in-line with the remaining Lido x Obol clusters.
Performance Analysis
The performance monitoring period for Lido x Obol Cohort 3 began on March 26th, the day that all 10 clusters had active validators.
During this time, as per Rated, average uptime across clusters stands at 99.93%, aggregate Block Proposal Success Rate of 100%, and Average Validator Effectiveness is 96.96%. This compares to the 30 day overall Ethereum validator set performance with an average Validator Effectiveness of 96.63%. Initially, the Dynamic Dragonfly and Gallant Gecko clusters suffered from performance issues, though following troubleshooting with the Obol team the performance for these clusters has come back in-line with the remainder of the Cohort over the past two weeks.

Proposed Next Steps
It is proposed that the key limits for Lido x Obol Cohort 3 clusters be raised to a maximum of 80 validators each, bringing the clusters in-line with the Obol Cohorts 2 & 3.
The relevant Easy Track motions for these key limit raises would be communicated in this thread and would follow the default approach of being veteoable by LDO holders over a 72 hour period.
This begins a discussion period for the DAO to consider the performance report and proposal to raise key limits to 80 validators for Obol Cohort 3.
