Lido approves early wind-down of Simple DVT regular clusters

What happened

Lido DAO approved an early wind-down plan for the 72 regular clusters in the Simple DVT Module.

What changed

The approved plan moves regular-cluster operators toward CSM continuation paths and authorizes a grant framework funded from an existing allocation.

What did not change

The vote does not prove that any cluster exited, that stake was migrated, or that the combined Community Staking and Simple DVT share changed for two consecutive quarters.

Confirmed

• The vote closed on June 22 with all recorded voting power in support.
• The wind-down occurs before the previously communicated maximum three-year module lifetime.
• Continuation paths include CSM and an Identified DVT Cluster operator type.
• No additional funding was requested beyond the existing grant allocation.

Still open

• The executed wind-down schedule, number of continuing operators, stake migration, and effect on validator diversity remain unresolved.
• The resulting Simple DVT and CSM stake shares require post-transition measurement.

What it means for an advisor

• Reassess Lido's operator-diversity evidence as clusters exit or move into CSM.
• Track quarterly Simple DVT and CSM stake shares against the memo's decentralization criterion.
• Verify that validator exits and migrations do not create withdrawal, slashing, or operational congestion.
