Has the relay made any serious product changes that were not adequately tested on testnet first?
Yes, there were some hotfixes that were likely made directly in production, as the timeline isn’t immediately clear, relating to the MEV-boost exploits which occurred in April 2023.
Has the go-live of these serious changes made it to production, and has it been adequately assessed to not negatively impact performance of operations such that moving the relay from “may include” to “must use some” would not adversely affect the overall validator set?
Please compile and refer to a relevant performance analysis if possible
Please see ‣
Based on relay performance while it’s been on the “may include” list, is there any serious reason to not promote the relay to “must use some”?
No
Were there any incident or degraded performance reports from Lido Node Operators while using the relay that were not adequately explained, addressed, or compensated (where relevant)?
No
