Announcing the Node Operator Risk Standard (NORS):
The gold standard for professional ETH node operators 🌐
Built by 13+ industry-leading companies, NORS is a groundbreaking certification for staking infrastructure risk management.

Correlated risk in ETH staking is a critical consideration that's often misunderstood.
Developed with @ObolNetwork, our report examines today’s client, operator, and geographic diversity, current research, and mitigation strategies to support resilience.

📝 We're releasing a report with @liquid_col about #Ethereum's correlation risk!
👀 Considering Ethereum staking? This is a MUST READ report!

🤔 Many stakers don't understand correlation penalties and centralisation risks in Ethereum.
🚫 Ethereum severely penalises correlated slashing events, encouraging stakers, protocols, and operators to prioritise client diversity and decentralisation.
When you stake with a centralised protocol or provider (using a single client, geographic location, etc), you are more susceptible to penalties if that point of centralisation causes a slashing or offline event.
As the staking ecosystem develops, so does the discussion around correlation risks.
@VitalikButerin suggests that Ethereum's correlated slashing mechanism may not be fully achieving its objective, necessitating a more thorough investigation of correlation risk: https://t.co/NeN18jVKYf
📝 To help educate stakers, we are excited to announce our research report: “Ethereum’s Correlation Risks: Poorly Understood, but Always Present” which examines, for the first time, a holistic cross-section of today’s staking correlation risks, key mitigations, and how these dynamics may shift in the future.
It includes explorations of:
🎯 Correlation penalties
🎯 Client diversity risks
🎯 Operator diversity risks
🎯 Geographic and cloud risks
🎯 Research and upcoming proposals
🎯 Vitalik's proposal

It's vital that MVI and proposed changes to Ethereum's staking issuance curve are widely and rigorously reviewed by the community.
Economies of scale in staking are real and an unintended consequence of margin compression could be further centralization and loss leading distribution that's possible for the largest market players at the expense of smaller operators and solo stakers.
The impact of these potentially centralizing forces may have dynamic implications on what's considered an adequate stake ratio target and desirable qualitative security properties that should be considered.
Changing the issuance curve is a major decision and its going to be super important to carefully analyze the potential impact on decentralization, restaking and what happens if users move further up the risk curve.

We’re proud to have supported @liquid_col’s working group in addressing the critical need for a unified, objective methodology for measuring node operator performance.
We hope this initiative will contribute to the integrity and growth of the ETH staking sector!
We’re excited to share a significant stride in liquid staking: the introduction of @liquid_col’s Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for Node Operator performance.
By establishing performance benchmarks for Node Operators, these SLAs ensure that participants in the Liquid Collective protocol can expect a consistently high level of service. Working collaboratively with @ratedw3b, @CoinbaseCloud, @Figment_io, and Staked, we’re proud to share this framework that aligns with the high standards and reliability leading enterprises expect.
We're proud to be part of this important development and look forward to seeing the positive impact these SLAs will have on the overall maturity and growth of the proof of stake ecosystem.
