What does it mean for Lido users? Using Tempus, you will be able to receive a fixed-rate yield on your stETH. As an LP, you can provide stETH to receive swap fees generated by Tempus. You can maintain exposure to your entire staking yield + get Tempus fees on top of it.

🔐 Why is trustless more secure? A trustless solution ensures correctness without relying on oracle operators. As long as the report passes all checks, it's considered legitimate, even if the sender could be compromised.
