Lido: Introducing the Community Staking Module

Liquidity staking protocol Lido announced the introduction of the Community Staking Module on the X platform, which will allow a group of independent operators to join the CSM on the mainnet before the CSM is open to everyone, avoiding large operators from crowding out capacity at the beginning. In addition to early access, eligible operators can also enjoy a special bond curve that provides discounted bond amounts for their first validators, further lowering the barrier to entry. The early adoption mechanism will be tested on the Holesky testnet and a list of testnet environments will be listed. The testnet eligibility checker page is now live, and users can verify their eligibility status.
