Lido Working Group Proposes Two-Track MEV Policy for Ethereum ePBS

Contributors to Lido’s Node Operator Mechanism working group have proposed two channels for validator bids as Ethereum prepares for ePBS, setting separate treatment for protocol-guaranteed offers and extra payments. The plan would require every Lido validator to keep receiving peer-to-peer bids and direct all rewards to the Lido EL Rewards Vault. In the open market, validators could accept bids from any builder that meets Ethereum’s protocol requirements, provided the protocol guarantees payment. Builders and intermediaries offering payments beyond that guarantee would have to join Lido’s Allowed List. The Curated Module Committee (CMC) would review the list; the proposal does not describe a separate approval requirement for these arrangements. The proposal also sets conditions for flagging node operators for investigation.
