Summary
This update serves as the first performance report for the Vivacious Viper Lido x Obol Cohort 2 cluster. As mentioned here, there was a late replacement for this cluster that resulted in the participants having to restart the setup process.
Given very strong performance results, it is proposed that the key limits for Vivacious Viper are increased to 40 validators.
Performance Analysis
The first performance monitoring period began on October 1st. Since that time, as per Rated, uptime for the cluster was 99.98%, Block Proposal Success Rate of 100% (1/1 proposal), and Average Validator Effectiveness was 98.24%. This compares to the 30 day overall Ethereum validator set performance with an average Validator Effectiveness of 97.67%.
For a detailed overview of cluster level metrics & the list of validator keys for all of Cohort 2, see the analysis: Obol Cohort 2 Performance Metrics - Google Sheets
Proposed Next Steps
It is proposed that the key limits for the Vivacious Viper cluster is increased to 40 validators given the very strong results, until the next performance monitoring period (which will end no earlier than 37 days after the publication date of this update). This would also allow the cluster to get closer to the other Cohort 2 Clusters already at 40 validators (with their next performance report to come in the following days.
The relevant Easy Track motions for this key limit raise will 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 7 day discussion period for the DAO to consider the performance report and proposal to raise key limits to 40 validators for the Vivacious Viper cluster.
