-Lido, with over [9 million ETH](https://lido.fi/ethereum) staked on its platform, is a significant contributor in the Ethereum ecosystem. To broaden and diversify its network of node operators, Lido recently introduced the [**Community Staking Module** (CSM)](https://csm.testnet.fi/?ref=dappnode), the first Lido module with a **permissionless entry** for Ethereum staking. By first providing an ETH-based bond, anyone can now become a node operator by running validators in the Lido protocol. Designed with solo and community stakers in mind, the CSM lowers the barrier to becoming an Ethereum validator, requiring far less than the standard 32 ETH, and offers a user-friendly experience. While tailored for smaller stakers, it is open to all, including professional operators.
