Lido Finance

Lido Finance does not directly manage validator infrastructure. Instead, Node Operators interact with the Lido protocol to provide non-custodial staking services to users. The protocol routes stake across modules, currently consisting primarily of a curated module composed of multiple professional and reputable node operators, each with heterogeneous setups, adding an extra layer of mitigation through self-coverage. Operators using the Lido protocol have the flexibility to choose infrastructure, software, and security measures that align best with their specific business and operational needs.

Node Operators utilizing the Lido protocol self-report their client, infrastructure, and geographic setups on a quarterly basis, and the data is compiled and made publicly available via VaNOM(https://app.hex.tech/8dedcd99-17f4-49d8-944e-4857a355b90a/app/3f7d6967-3ef6-4e69-8f7b-d02d903f045b/latest).

Lido DAO has developed leading tooling for large-scale validator monitoring and has open-sourced it, which is available at Lido Github(https://github.com/lidofinance/ethereum-validators-monitoring). This tooling is employed in a contributor-operated instance for redundant monitoring of all Node Operators within the protocol's active staking modules. Furthermore, the tooling is accessible to the public, allowing other node operators and network monitoring third parties to monitor the performance of the Lido protocol validator set.

Lido has undergone audits(https://github.com/lidofinance/audits) by Certora, StateMind, Hexens, ChainSecurity, Oxorio, MixBytes, SigmaPrime, and Quantstamp. In addition, Lido utilizes a bug bounty program through Immunifi(https://immunefi.com/bounty/lido/).
