Pier Two is proud to share that we have officially commenced operating validators as a part of the Lido Curated Operator Set, and will be adding additional validators in the months to come. You can track those validators in the Operator Dashboard.
Dependent on Lido ETH inflows and Staking Router Module capacity, Pier Two will be scaling up to run validators alongside other members of the Curated Set, who currently operate approximately 7,200 validators with Lido (or roughly 230,400 ETH staked, or 0.68% of the Ethereum network’s validators).
Pier Two has been participating in Simple DVT with Lido since it launched in April 2024, supporting both SSV and Obol. It is an exciting milestone to officially share that Pier Two has also been welcomed by the Lido community into the Curated Operator Set following the acquisition of Numic, and a successful “For” vote into the Curated Operator Set. Working with contributors from the Node Operator Mechanisms workstream, Pier Two has been putting our infrastructure to the test to ensure that Pier Two will be performant and uphold the highest industry standards that Lido has set.
As one of the most performant validators of all time on Rated, Pier Two is proud of the work that our team has done to consistently maintain world class performance and be recognised as one of the leading global Ethereum staking providers.
Pier Two is very excited to continue working with Lido, a protocol we consider to be one of the core pillars of the Ethereum ecosystem, and Pier Two remains optimistic about the role that Lido will play in the future of liquid staking and Ethereum.
In addition to being the largest staking protocol on Ethereum, Lido is one of the stewards of core Ethereum values. Pier Two feels aligned with the purpose of Lido which is to “Keep Ethereum decentralized, accessible to all, and resistant to censorship”. Being an Australian operator and running the infrastructure on bare metal bolsters the decentralised properties of the Ethereum Network - making it even more secure and anti-fragile.
The future of Ethereum is bright - financial institutions around the globe are placing their bets on it as a settlement layer. Billions of dollars of real world assets are starting to be tokenised, and Pier Two is proud to play a role in securing the transaction layer of the future alongside Lido DAO.
