The Community Staking Module (CSM) is the first permissionless module in the Lido protocol, allowing anyone to start running validators on the Ethereum blockchain with much greater capital efficiency compared to running a regular ("vanilla") Ethereum validator.
A distributed validator (DVT) is an Ethereum validator that runs on more than one node. Obol Network is a set of tools providing permissionless access to running distributed validators.
This tutorial uses the Holesky testnet for demonstration purposes, but the same steps can be applied to the mainnet.
Hardware & system requirements
CPU: Quad-core
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB NVME SSD (For mainnet at least 2TB)
