## What happened

CMC published its intended use of a proposed Easy Track factory for Deposit Reserve Target management.

## What changed

The plan would move the reported 1,500 ETH target to zero before the 0x02 CSM launch, then restore 1,500–2,000 ETH subject to operator demand.

## What did not change

The post does not establish factory approval, target execution, withdrawal impairment, or a module migration anomaly.

## Confirmed

- The committee describes the factory vote as upcoming.
- The zero-target stage is intended to avoid directing reserve capacity toward legacy CMv1.
- The later target remains a range with an exact value to be communicated.

## Still open

- Factory approval and execution.
- Exact restoration target and timing.
- Observed module allocations after implementation.

## What it means for an advisor

- Monitor the factory vote and target transactions alongside the Lido memo's module migration and operator-diversity assumptions.
