ICS Scoring Update

Low4.5

◆ Description

SSV Verified Operator and High Signal status now count toward ICS scoring in Lido CSM. The change adds SSV-based humanity and engagement points for operator qualification and can reduce the ETH bond for ICS-qualified operators.

◆ Why it matters

This adds a live incentive for node operators to use SSV-linked credentials in Lido CSM, with a lower ETH bond available to ICS-qualified operators. That strengthens SSV's position inside one staking workflow and can help operator uptake, but the effect stays contained because it does not directly change token economics or protocol-wide demand.
