Max effective balance reaches 2048 ETH, Lido launches 0x02 CSM

Odaily reports that Lido has launched 0x02 CSM, enabling permissionless operation of validators with a maximum effective balance of 2048 ETH. Operators do not need to raise staking funds themselves; they only need to provide a bond. The first key requires 32 ETH, and each subsequent key requires 30 ETH, with staking allocated by the protocol. This module adopts an initial deposit queue and an additional staking queue capped at 32 slots; the initial share cap at launch is 0.01% of Lido Core TVL, and the first batch of approximately 32 keys will receive seed deposits.
