## What happened

Lido voters approved the proposed CSM v2 architecture and fee structure.

## What changed

The approval authorized configurable operator types and gates, enhanced performance-oracle inputs, strikes-based ejection, EIP-7002 support, and differentiated rewards.

## What did not change

The Snapshot did not enact CSM v2 within May, migrate operators, change live contracts, or prove the design safe in production.

## Confirmed

- The design introduced permissionless and vetted gates.
- Performance accounting adds block-proposal and sync-committee inputs.
- A strikes-based validator-ejection mechanism was included.

## Still open

- The later on-chain enactment.
- Final contracts, parameters, ownership, weights, thresholds, and fee curves.
- Migration and effects on concentration, queue access, and false ejections.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review CSM allocation, oracle, ejection, gate, concentration, and fee assumptions.
- Require final code, audits, execution, and production monitoring.
