Lido approves Solstice's continued Curated Module operation

What happened

Lido voters approved allowing Solstice to continue the acquired Bridgetower node operation in the Ethereum Curated Module.

What changed

The governance decision accepted Solstice as the operator's new corporate owner and contemplated renaming Curated Module operator number 17.

What did not change

The operator stated that the registry address, validator team, on-premise Swiss infrastructure, and delegated staking operations would remain unchanged; the January vote did not itself verify an on-chain rename.

Confirmed

• The official forum reports 51.8 million LDO for continuation and 86.74 LDO against.
• Solstice acquired Bridgetower's staking division, team, and resources before the January ratification vote.
• The operator stated that existing validators would remain managed by the same team on the same infrastructure.
• The registry address was expected to remain unchanged, while a name change to Solstice was separately requested.

Still open

• Execution and verification of the operator-name change.
• Whether ownership later changes the team, infrastructure, registry or reward address, jurisdiction, or concentration profile.
• Post-transition performance and compliance with Curated Module requirements.

What it means for an advisor

• Update Lido's node-operator ownership map and separately verify any on-chain rename.
• Continue monitoring ownership concentration, registry state, infrastructure, and validator performance; the approval does not remove ongoing operator-transition risk.
