Lido Opens 0x02 Community Staking Module for Validators Up to 2,048 ETH
- —Bond is 32 ETH for the first key and 30 ETH for each additional key
- —Initial cap is 0.01% of Lido Core TVL with 32 top-up seats
- —New keys get a 32 ETH seed deposit, with top-ups queued after activation
- —EIP-7251 raises a validator's effective balance ceiling to 2,048 ETH
Why it matters: The module widens independent operators' access to Lido staking, though staged caps will limit how fast decentralization actually grows.
