## What happened

An OVH failure took Blockscape's Lido-2 cluster offline and simultaneously impaired components needed by its failover design.

## What changed

Fresh Vouch and MikroTik instances restored the cluster, Blockscape compensated missed rewards, and the operator committed to test a cross-provider multi-instance Vouch design.

## What did not change

The record does not establish a Lido-wide outage, slashing, key compromise, withdrawal impairment, or production deployment of the planned remediation.

## Confirmed

- The incident occurred June 24, 2026 and affected Blockscape's Lido-2 cluster.
- The infrastructure failure made Vouch and MikroTik unavailable and prevented failover.
- Muted monitoring delayed normal detection.
- Fresh instances restored service.
- Blockscape says it compensated lost rewards.

## Still open

- Exact duration, validator count, and missed-reward amount.
- Compensation transaction and final settlement evidence.
- Production timing for the cross-provider remediation.

## What it means for an advisor

- Add the shared-infrastructure and alert-suppression failures to Lido node-operator diligence.
- Verify compensation and remediation; this operator event alone does not justify restricting Lido-wide exposure.
