Wind Down Simple DVT Module Regular Clusters
AI summary
This proposal seeks to discontinue the 72 'regular clusters' within Lido's Simple DVT Module (SDVTM) earlier than planned. The SDVTM was designed to test Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) and has successfully proven its viability. However, due to declining profitability for operators and increasing operational challenges, maintaining these clusters has become unsustainable. Operators from these clusters will be offered options to transition to the Community Staking Module (CSM), including a new 'Identified Distributed Validator Technology Cluster (IDVTC)' operator type.
If approved, the SDVTM regular clusters will be wound down, impacting the operators currently running them. These operators will receive a one-time grant from an existing ecosystem fund to compensate for the early wind-down and their past contributions, provided they meet eligibility criteria and continue validating via CSM. This change aims to improve the economic viability for DVT operators within Lido and streamline its staking infrastructure.

TL;DR
This proposal seeks DAO approval to wind down the 72 regular clusters in the Simple DVT Module (SDVTM) ahead of the originally communicated up to 3-year module lifetime. If approved, operators from regular clusters will be offered several continuation paths into the Community Staking Module (CSM), including through the Identified Distributed Validator Technology Cluster (IDVTC) operator type.
