According to Odaily, liquidity pledge protocol Lido has announced the introduction of a Community Staking Module (CSM) on the X platform. This move will allow a group of independent operators to join the CSM on the main network before it is opened to everyone, preventing large operators from monopolizing capacity from the outset.
In addition to early access rights, eligible operators can also enjoy a special bond curve. This curve provides discounted bond amounts for its first validator, further lowering the entry threshold. The early adoption mechanism will be tested on the Holesky test network, and a list of test network environments will be provided.
The test network eligibility checker page is now live, allowing users to verify their eligibility status. This development is part of Lido's ongoing efforts to democratize access and participation in its network, ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of resources and opportunities.
