Permissionless Lido staking
CSM lets independent node operators run validators for Lido by posting an ETH bond, instead of being selected by governance. It brings more operators, and more diversity, into Lido’s validator set.
Node3Tech runs validators in Lido’s Community Staking Module (CSM) on Ethereum mainnet.
Get startedLido CSM introduces a permissionless staking model, allowing independent node operators to participate in Lido staking without requiring approval from a governance committee. This approach enhances validator diversity and decentralization, making staking more accessible.

Node3Tech runs its CSM validators on our own Ethereum mainnet stack: execution and consensus clients on dedicated servers, monitored around the clock.
The operator bond can be used to cover penalties for poor performance or misbehaviour, so the operator’s own ETH is aligned with stETH holders.
Every independent operator that joins through CSM makes Lido, and with it Ethereum, less dependent on a small number of large operators.
