On July 1st, Lido announced that the Community Staking Module (CSM) testnet is live. Users eligible for early adoption can now join CSM. In addition, CSM will be open to all node operators in mid-July. The Community Staking Module (CSM) is an initiative of the Lido DAO to enhance decentralization and democratize Ethereum staking access, and will allow permissionless access for any node operator (especially community stakers), enabling them to run validators using the Lido protocol.
