# Lido proposes a delegated node-operator assessment framework for CMv2

> 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.

- Type: Governance
- Stage: Proposed
- Evidence: confirmed
- Materiality: watch
- Event date: 2026-05-11
- Version: 1, published 2026-08-22 (first published 2026-08-22)
- Advisor-relevant: no
- Affects: Lido (protocol)

## 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.
