Node Operators

One of the main parts of Lido on Polygon protocol are node operators. Node operators are entities which are running Polygon PoS validators and are registered in the Lido on Polygon node operator registry contract. They are responsible for managing a secure and stable infrastructure for running Polygon validator infrastructure for the benefit of the protocol. They are professional staking providers who can ensure the safety of funds belonging to the protocol users and correctness of validator operations.

How to join as an Operator​

Only Lido DAO can list new validators to the Node Operator Registry. After the snapshot proposal with the proposed subset of node operators passes, Lido DAO will list new validators in the Node Operator Registry. No further action is required.

How to exit the protocol as a Node Operator​

Exit the Node Operator Registry by calling the function exitNodeOperatorRegistry. The caller address must be the reward address. However, the validator no longer becomes part of the Lido on Polygon.

  1. Call exitNodeOperatorRegistry() function in the NodeOperator contract.
