> [@dneorej-persistence](#): > > Liquid staking providers should not gatekeep validators and should deselect bad actors/validators rather than trying to select the right validators. pSTAKE contributors believe that the role of LSPs will be of utmost importance as users will depend on LSPs to act in the network’s best interest by making an informed stake delegation decision. Absolutely agreed on this statement. LSTs will carry important responsibilities as they grow market-fit. It is still acceptable to have committee-curated sets in the early stages of this rollout, but it is clear to everyone that the only sustainable path forward should be weighted on the quality of service through measurable data. You are definitely stepping in this direction, and therefore, we support this new system as we encourage other LSTs to follow suit when their respective roadmaps allow them to.
