Should Attestant continue in the Curated set following the acquisition by Bitwise?

Background and Context

Node operator Attestant BVI Limited was recently acquired by Bitwise. According to Attestant, the infrastructure will remain unchanged in terms of deployment (bare metal), and the geographical location will stay the same. The only change is that Attestant BVI and its ultimate shareholder are now Bitwise, rather than the Attestant team themselves.

The Lido Node Operator Sub-Governance Group (LNOSG) has reviewed the provided information related to the transition and found no reason to propose ceasing the operator’s participation in Lido on Ethereum Curated set.

The LNOSG supports continuing collaboration with this operator, as the operator has confirmed on the forum that no changes are planned following the acquisition and has expressed their readiness to continue their work.

The detailed conclusion was published on the forum and may offer further help to voters in their consideration.

Proposal

Allow Attestant BVI Limited to continue Node Operations in Lido on Ethereum as-is.
