Based on a consistent evaluation of parameters such as validator performance on the Ethereum (ETH) network, proof of scale on the permissionless node operations and adherence to best technical practices, we have shortlisted the below candidate for inclusion in the ETHx permissioned node operator group:
Operator: A41
A41 has consistently demonstrated strong support for ETHx node operations from the very beginning, including during the capped mainnet phase.
Currently, A41 has 100+ active ETHx validators with a commitment to significantly scale up permissionless capacity going forward.
The next stage in this process involves a vote by the Stader DAO community on Snapshot.
As we move forward, we remain committed to expanding this node operator set and eagerly anticipate the onboarding of more permissioned operators in the near future.
