According to the X post, stakers eligible for the program can enjoy
early access to the CSM mainnet, a reduced capital requirement from
32 ETH to just 1.5 ETH, and a potential 2.37x higher reward per
ETH. In addition to these benefits, eligible operators are
also allowed to run 12 validators. According to Lido’s blog post,
the limit will only be lifted after the early adoption phase.
To ensure that only solo stakers will have the opportunity to enter
the program, Lido has put out specific filtration rules that will
check each applicant if they are eligible for the program.
This development will ultimately stimulate retail interest in the
platform as it lowers the economic barrier to participating in the
network. However, its strict rules regarding the eligibility of
community members and network users to be part of the CSM Early
Adoption Program hinder any potential gain in the long-term of the
network as only a handful of users can participate in the reduced
financial burden brought by the program. $0.88-$1.13 Range Holds
Little Promise For LDO As of writing, the token is struggling to
hold the weight of the bearish pressure that has overtaken the
market by storm. LDO bulls do not have the same momentum as the
bears which may lead to a short to medium-term continuation of the
downward trajectory. The token’s relative strength index,
however, is hinting a possible reversal in the medium term
timeframe which might lead to LDO keeping its current trading range
in the next couple of days. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Burn
