Node Operator Mechanisms @LidoFinance
Looking back at articles like this one from 2021 shows the beauty of Lido’s story. The protocol changes aren’t a reaction to CT noise — they’re the steady unfolding of a design that was baked into Lido’s DNA from the very start. blog.lido.fi/the-road-to-tr…
Its amazing how @LidoFinance continues shipping towards decentralization and verifiability: now enabling dual governance. They embody the Ethereum ethos more than most projects! Kudos to the team @Lomashuk @hasufl @IsdrsP!
Dual Governance enabled.
Lido marketshare is down but whose is up? Binance and Etherfi (like 10 node operators in a trenchcoat, and a token just wrapping eigenlayer multisigs). How is that more decentralization? Diversity has actually decreased at the node operator and entity level, drastically.
🔥 NEW SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT Excited to share that @zuzu_eeka, DAO Ops Lead at @LidoFinance, is joining our speaker squad at ETH Belgrade! Kate will take us on a wild ride with "Playing Jumanji: Shipping Upgrades of a DAO-Governed Protocol." ------------------------------------…
BitGo is now the first U.S. custodian with native ETH staking via Lido. Institutional clients in Europe & Asia can now stake ETH securely through BitGo custody, mint stETH for deep liquidity, and tap into DeFi - all on one trusted platform. blog.lido.fi/bitgo-becomes-…
Why do solo & home stakers matter for Ethereum? Solo stakers own their capital, control their configurations, and validate from home, making Ethereum more decentralized and censorship-resistant. Watch as @d_gusakov breaks down CSM at EthCC 👇
323 node operators are now live in Lido’s Simple DVT module 🖥️ More than 1,500 new SDVT validators came online last week alone, positioning the SSV-powered C3 Cohort 3 for its July performance review and potential key-limit increase. This rapid validator growth funnels extra…
Ethereum staking is evolving fast. At Staking Summit Dubai, @LidoFinance’s @KimonSh showed how new ST Vaults will let institutions: – Choose their own node operators – Set SLAs and custom fees – Retain access to stETH liquidity Next-gen delegated staking is here. Full keynote:…

From the glass of ProSecCo to celebratory shots of tequila – how we run DAO Ops in @LidoFinance It was a great pleasure speaking at the @ethbelgrade stage and sharing my experience on how Lido DAO evolved from Jumanji-level chaos to a transparent and trackable process.
How to guide DAOs so they’re choosing upgrades instead of guessing. Because let’s face it people will not read your code will not do a detailed analysis but @zuzu_eeka has a darn good map-the one that nurtures trust through clarity!

1/11 EIP-7688 isn’t grabbing headlines, but it quietly solves a growing problem for Ethereum protocols using Beacon Chain data. Let’s break down why it matters and why including it in one of the upcoming hard forks could save everyone a lot of pain 🧵
nom nom nom 😋 if you're hungry for decentralisation, @KimonSh joins us later this month to talk about feeding the future of @ethereum staking 🎟️lu.ma/hkl5jcre
