Introducing the Decentralized Validator Vault ft.

@ssv_network
🎉
This vault aims to boost the adoption of Distributed Validators via the Lido Simple DVT Module, enhancing network security and increasing overall validator numbers.
The initial
Staked ETH issued by Lido is backed 1:1 with ETH staking deposits.
The exchange rate between stETH:ETH does not reflect the underlying backing of your staked ETH, but rather a fluctuating secondary market price.
Lido is now on L2 🏝️
Bridge your staked ETH to Layer 2 protocols at the click of a button to benefit from lower gas fees and exciting DeFi opportunities.
Lido is launching stETH on Layer 2 🏝️
Ethereum is scaling, and so is Lido.
Lido stakers will soon be able to use their stETH assets in DeFi on Layer 2.

⚠️
@anchor_protocol
users, please take care of your positions! According to our internal warning, +41.5% of positions with bETH in it are within 20% of liquidation.
Please proceed with caution/de-risk yourself.
We are deploying an additional
@CurveFinance
pool to improve the liquidity around the stETH:ETH peg.
This new pool will feature an additional 1M LDO in incentives for the next week and is currently almost empty, suggesting high rewards to initial depositors.
Against a backdrop of wider market turbulence, the stETH:ETH swap rate has deviated from its 1:1 peg.
At the time of writing stETH is trading at a discount of 4.2% to ETH on the main Curve pool.
UPDATE: bETH/Terra
Currently economic security of Terra had been briefly worth about $180m, with over $200m worth of bETH on Terra. It's theoretically possible to halt the network and freeze these assets in an elaborate economic attack.
Presenting stLuna.
Lido has made an upgrade to bLuna on Terra with the aim of increasing Terra's liquid staking utility and decentralization.

Lido protocol has registered its largest daily stake inflow so far with over 150,000 ETH staked. 🎉
Upon reaching this number, a curious (but important) protocol safety feature called Staking Rate Limit was activated.
Here’s how it works🧵👇

Lido on Ethereum Wave 5 Onboarding Update 🚀
The Lido Node Operator set will be growing by 7 operators.
➡️
Following a vote to onboard NOs proposed by the LNOSG, the Wave 5 onboarding round is complete with 9 new NOs joining the Lido set in Q3 👇
More than 5,084,160 ETH is being staked on the Ethereum network - around 4.38% of circulating ETH.
This is ~$14,032,306,440 committed to the security of Ethereum through staking 🏝️ $ETH
The Lido DAO has approved the deployment of the Simple DVT Module - a step towards rapidly diversifying the Lido Node Operator set and driving innovation within the Ethereum staking ecosystem.
New to DVT? Here's everything you need to know👇
Lido was started with two simple aims: to democratize access to staking, and to prevent centralized exchanges from gaining the lion's share of staked Ethereum.
In short, to keep Ethereum decentralized.
We are thrilled to present a detailed overview of Lido’s road to decentralization.
In this post, we explain the thoughts that led to Lido’s current design and how we plan on transitioning Lido to a piece of fully trustless infrastructure.

Strap in - it’s time to open the Next Chapter for Lido 🏝️
As we prepare to gather in Amsterdam next week, we want to give the Ethereum community an important update on our roadmap towards decentralization.
A vote to bring wstETH to

If passed, Lido DAO will formally accept deployment of wstETH to zkSync Era, with the Lido DAO taking ultimate ownership of bridging components.

Ethereum Withdrawals: Explained 🖥️
In the coming months, the network Shanghai/Capella hard fork will enable withdrawals for Ethereum stakers who have supported the network since the first days of the beacon chain and beyond.
What does this mean for Lido stakers? 👇
The L2 expansion continues: wstETH comes to Polygon 🟣
@0xPolygon
becomes the third L2 for Lido’s staked ETH, following in the footsteps of Optimism and Arbitrum.
Bridge your wstETH to the Polygon ecosystem to benefit from low gas fees + exciting DeFi opportunities.
👇
There's now more than 7,800,000 ETH being staked - more than 6.6% of all circulating ETH.
At current prices that's $22,255,000,000+ committed to the security of Ethereum through staking. $ETH

The Lido Simple DVT Module is here 🌐
72 net-new Node Operators, including solo stakers, powered by
@ObolNetwork
-based Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), are ready to run validators.
Net-new ETH deposits to Lido on Ethereum will be automatically directed by the Staking
A proposal to list bETH (wrapped stETH on Terra) as collateral to
@anchor_protocol
has been submitted🏝️
This will allow users to borrow UST against staked ETH collateral and earn liquidity mining rewards using Anchor’s collateralized lending.
Lido MEV rewards (incl priority fees) for the past 24 hours total 244.44 ETH.
These were restaked at 12.30 UTC, resulting in an updated ETH staking yield of 5.5%.
Update on Lido V2 on Goerli: a sliding submit limit of 30,000 goeth/day is now in place; staking transactions above this number will revert.
This is the same feature as on mainnet.
Due to higher-than-expected EL rewards Lido has bumped into the conservative security check limits for maximal possible stETH rebase.
No funds are lost or at risk but there won’t be stETH rebase today and potentially in the next few days depending on the amount of EL rewards.
Since Q4 2022 (post-Merge), Geth usage across Lido protocol validators has gone from 93% to 67% (preliminary Q4/23 data).
Final Q4 Validator & Node Operator Metrics are still being compiled, but efforts are well underway to help reduce supermajority client risk in Ethereum.
A special moment for the

bETH is live on
@anchor_protocol
! 🏝️
Now you can lend and borrow your bETH - a wrapped version of stETH on
@terra_money
- to earn staking rewards in the form of UST and ANC.
Get started here:
There has been continuing volatility and further significant movements of the stETH:ETH exchange rate again today.
While the discount on stETH on secondary markets is ~5% at the time of writing, Lido continues to operate normally.
Bringing wstETH to Cosmos 🪐
Together with
@Neutron_org
and
@axelarcore
, Lido DAO contributors are working on bringing staked ETH to the Cosmos ecosystem.
Coming September 2023.
Full proposal here:
Lido for Solana is in its final stages before launch. The codebase is open-source and we just opened an Immunefi bug bounty program.
Visit to get started.
Use of the supermajority Execution Layer client (Geth) across validators on Lido has fallen from 93% to 46% since 2022, with considerable progress made in the last three quarters 📉
A Lido V2 update 💧
TLDR:
Withdrawal key-rotation ceremony completed: all withdrawal credential messages have been successfully signed (from 0x00 to 0x01), and are now ready to be broadcasted to the Ethereum network post Shapella hard fork (April 12th).
🧵
48 hours later and 38,657 bETH (~$123.14m) have been staked on
@anchor_protocol
🏝️
bETH lets you lend and borrow your staked ETH on the
@terra_money
network!
Using Anchor Protocol you can now earn rewards on your stETH in the form of UST and ANC tokens.
👇
If you have a leveraged position (for example through
@AaveAave
) you might be at risk of liquidation.
You should urgently de-risk any leveraged positions that have a challenging health factor, for example, by adding extra collateral.
Lido’s wstETH has been successfully integrated as a collateral asset on
@MakerDAO
!
This integration lets users deploy staked ETH as collateral to mint DAI, leverage liquidity positions and maximise their ETH staking yields.

A bridge has been deployed to bring wstETH to Avalanche, BNB and Scroll, facilitated by
@LayerZero_Labs
.
Please note this bridge is not canonical and has not been audited or endorsed by the Lido DAO.
Please exercise extreme caution if you choose to interact with the bridge.
