Chainnodes - delete old solo staker validators

I brought this up a couple of times and it was partially fixed more than 1 year ago. But there are still remains of the old ether.fi solo staker cluster in the node operator account of Chainnodes.

As a background, this happened because we manage the solo staker program and the bidding in 2023 was happening through the Chainnodes bidding account. Thought the validators were never operated by us, instead in a DVT setup with multiple solo stakers (home operators).

Later, all those validators from the Chainnodes bidding were added automatically as ether.fi integrated with Rated directly.

After a while some of the validators got removed, others didn’t.

It’s pretty difficult to list the exact public keys as it’s been a back and forth and I don’t know the exact state. The only thing I know is that we (Chainnodes) have metrics from 2023, which we shouldn’t. The cutoff should be approximately January 2024, which is when we started operating validators for ether.fi on our infrastructure.

As you can see in our all time metrics, there are some weird up and down metrics before 2024. This should be removed.

A very weird thing is that listing Chainnodes as operator under ether.fi shows a different start of metrics (though also not start of 2024), as seen below:

This does not make sense as we never added our other customers validators to Rated. Only from ether.fi as they wanted to list on Rated.

What I would like to do is remove all validators metrics that were started in 2023 and recalculate our all time scores on our operator dashboard as well as the ether.fi Chainnodes operator dashboard.

Please let me know if this is clear enough. I am available on Telegram for verification. We are in touch with multiple members from Rated but were asked to post this question on the Forum.
