Lido proposes a delegated node-operator assessment framework for CMv2

What happened

Lido opened a Snapshot proposal to approve six node-operator classifications for Curated Module v2 and delegate ongoing framework maintenance, assessment, and reassessment to the Curated Module Committee.

What changed

If adopted and later applied, the framework would formalize operator classifications and give the committee discretion to define round-specific scoring parameters and thresholds that influence subsequent operator treatment.

What did not change

The proposal did not itself set operator fees, incentive coefficients, onboarding results, validator allocations, or core-pool staking and withdrawal mechanics.

Confirmed

• The proposal defines Professional, Professional Trusted, Public Good, Extra Effort, Decentralization, and Intra-Operator DVT Cluster types.
• The Curated Module Committee would maintain and apply the framework.
• Scoring parameters and thresholds would be defined for each assessment round.
• Operator onboarding lists and economic parameters would require separate governance actions.

Still open

• The Snapshot result and whether the framework was formally adopted.
• The scoring parameters, thresholds, and reassessment cadence selected by the committee.
• The resulting operator classifications and effect on validator concentration, client diversity, and incentives.
• Whether any subsequent on-chain implementation altered operator allocation or fee settings.

What it means for an advisor

• Monitor adoption and the first completed CMv2 assessment round.
• Review whether delegated scoring discretion changes the Lido memo's operator-selection and concentration assumptions.
• Treat future operator incentives and allocations as separate events requiring their own primary evidence.
