[KR1, a London Stock Exchange-listed company, launches Ethereum validators via Lido stVaults] According to a report by Jinse Finance on October 15, the official Lido blog announced that KR1 plc, a blockchain infrastructure company listed on the London Stock Exchange, has launched its own Ethereum validators. These validators are operated by P2P.org within Lido V3's stVaults. The near-term goal is to stake up to 6,000 ETH, with an initial deployment of 10 validators. The deployment pace will depend on the Ethereum validator activation queue. KR1 retains control over deposit and withdrawal permissions, validator fee arrangements, and vault roles, and has the option to mint stETH for liquidity. Lido stated that stVaults address the trade-off between native staking and liquid staking: stakers can select validators and retain ownership while maintaining liquidity through stETH. Lido disclosed that the stVaults smart contracts have been audited by Certora, MixBytes, Consensys Diligence, Ackee Blockchain, Sigma Prime, and other organizations, and a bug bounty of up to $2 million is available.
