Isodoros Passadis is a contributor to the Lido DAO as Master of Validators, while Alon Muroch is the Founder of SSV Labs.  
 
Why you should listen Lido (the biggest LST by TVL on Ethereum) is deploying the new SimpleDVT module. Liquid staking protocols allow users to mint a transferable utility token that can be used in on-chain activities while their stake is locked-up while they continue to get staking rewards without maintaining any staking infrastructure. Thus it is said to be “liquid”.
The Lido protocol is integrating Distributed validator technology (DVT) to help increase and decentralize its node operations. SSV Network is a leading DVT provider and will have its technology integrated into the module. 
SSV Network distributed validator infrastructure establishes a new standard for staking by providing a permissionless and decentralized platform to develop the next go-to applications and tooling for the staking industry.

Kelsey McGuire is the Chief Growth Officer at Shardeum, the world’s first EVM-based L1 blockchain which uses dynamic state sharding to increase TPS with every new node. Or as Shardeum describe themselves, Web3 for Humans.
Why you should listen Shardeum is an EVM-based, linearly scalable smart contract platform that maintains true decentralization and solid security through dynamic state sharding. This means Shardeum can increase its TPS capacity with each validator added to the network to retain low gas fees forever.
Shardeum is the solution to the blockchain trilemma. As blockchain tries to achieve scalability, decentralization and security, it will only be able to attain two. There must be a trade-off between decentralization and scalability with security an essential element. Shardeum achieves scalability, decentralization and still maintains security.
Shardeum’s auto-scaling feature allows the network to automatically adjust the number and size of shards based on the current workload. This allows the system to optimize performance and maintain high levels of scalability as it grows and evolves.
Shardeum aims to be a chain capable of onboarding over a billion people to the blockchain and crypto revolution. Shardeum, like the Internet, will be open, collaborative, and community-driven and would democratize accessibility to decentralization. Shardeum will be the infrastructure on which the next iteration of the Internet, Web3, will be built.
