Node Operator Expectations

General (chain-agnostic)

Communications

The following contact details of relevant team members should be provided:

Expectations

Be present, active, and responsive. NOs are expected to monitor and engage promptly in the Discord and Telegram channels as part of the “normal course of operations” of running Lido validators.

Lido Node Operator Sub-governance Group (LNOSG)

The LNOSG offers NO insights and the ability to provide deep reviews to DAO (which the DAO may choose to accept or not) to evaluate and comment on the onboarding of new operators, and provide input on governance discussions related to node operators. The LNOSG is working towards building a balanced node operator registry that is as decentralized, permissionless, and trustless as possible. This sub-governance group consists of representative members from onboarded node operator organizations and the Lido DAO. The LNOSG infrequently gathers to evaluate applications for new onboarding waves to recommend to the Lido DAO.

Simple DVT Module Portal

The Simple DVT Module portal contains information related to the deployment of the Simple DVT Module on Mainnet, upcoming testnet trials with Obol & SSV Network, DVT resources, and in the future will also contain performance metrics related to the testnets. Another testnet is tentatively planned for early Q1 2024 with both Obol & SSV Network, with additional information forthcoming.

Opt-In Validator Alerting

Discord-based monitoring and alerting are available to Node Operators in the curated set as an additional redundancy. Currently validator alerting is available for Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Once your team is configured to receive alerts, you’ll be tagged in the Lido Discord alerts channel.

A couple tips to minimize noise:

  1. Right click the channel and set your notifications to
  2. If you are continuing to receive pings/notifications for an issue that you are aware of, you have the option to Mute the channel for various time frames.

To receive alerts for a network in which you're engaged, complete the linked form and inform the relevant DAO contributors. If you would like to update the alerts you receive, please resubmit the form and again notify the team.
