Hello all, relating to the current tweet from Santiment about 46% of ETH validation being managed by two addressees (https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1570339602346684416), and the rebut from timjanssen claiming that they’re solely relays (https://twitter.com/thwjanssen89/status/1570426961411067904).
The highest tackle from santiment information feed is definitely Lido’s “Execution Layer Rewards Vault”: 0x388C818CA8B9251b393131C08a736A67ccB19297. I’ve understood that the vault can’t be thought of a validator by itself, and that it merely collects and aggregates rewards from every validator on the execution layer after which redistribuites it to stETH holders. Alas, the official documentation from Lido is superb: https://github.com/lidofinance/lido-improvement-proposals/blob/develop/LIPS/lip-12.md
I want to know if anybody right here has any perception as to how santiment consolidated the data, and to why they might classify the vault itself as a node operator? I attempted to seek out extra info as to how santiment collected and processed the beacon-chain information, however I couldn’t discover any…
