Announcing the Node Operator Risk Standard (NORS) certification for Ethereum: The gold standard for professional ETH node operators 🌐 Developed by a working group of 13+ industry-leading companies, NORS is the world's first attested certification for staking infrastructure risk management. Why does NORS matter? ➡️ NORS certification makes institutional-grade trust for ETH staking operations achievable.  For the first time, institutions can rely on a trusted, 3rd-party-verified standard for resilient ETH staking infrastructure. ➡️ NORS aligns with AICPA audit standards followed by SOC1 and other widely adopted diligence standards, with Big-4 auditors as NORS Qualified Assessors.   This unlocks the ability for large-scale institutions to use NORS certification when conducting due diligence on ETH staking operations. ➡️ NORS covers key aspects of node operations, including slashing prevention, validator diversity, and responsible key management. The open risk control matrix sets a new benchmark for professional operational security and risk management, specific to validator infrastructure. Developed by a diverse cross-industry working group, including: Alluvial Aon Blockdaemon Chainproof Coinbase DV Labs Eigen Labs Figment Galaxy Nexus Mutual Staked + others These expert collaborators ensured NORS provides robust risk criteria. In 2023, Liquid Collective started developing open validator performance & risk standards to help define enterprise-grade active sets. Alongside the LsETH Performance SLAs, NORS Certification will be used as an input for future Liquid Collective active set participation.
