### **Introduction** ‍

Blockdaemon is a leading institutional-grade node operator, trusted to secure over $110B in assets across more than 80 protocols. As an active Lido Curated Module operator, we are committed to advancing the resilience and performance of Ethereum staking.

### **Commitment to Obol Distributed Validators** ‍

Earlier this year, we integrated Obol Distributed Validators (DVs) into our infrastructure because they address many of the core challenges of institutional staking: resiliency, fault tolerance, and operational security. DVs distribute validator responsibilities across multiple nodes rather than relying on a single machine, reducing risk and improving uptime. Just as importantly, Obol’s architecture ensures validator keys are never exposed or concentrated in one place — a design choice that aligns with our security-first principles.

With Lido now expanding support for Obol within the Curated Module, Blockdaemon is increasing its commitment by migrating a portion of its staked ETH to Obol-powered validators. This step not only strengthens the reliability of the Curated Module but also reflects our conviction that distributed validator technology represents the future of Ethereum staking at scale.

### **Support for Proposal** ‍

Blockdaemon strongly supports the proposal to incorporate Distributed Validators into the Curated Module and views this as a milestone in building a more secure, decentralized, and institutional-ready staking ecosystem.
