LayerZero launched a Lido stETH bridge last October without asking for Lido DAO’s permission. The community responded this week by endorsing a pair of its biggest competitors.
A big selling point of blockchain networks is that they are “decentralized.” But just a few validators, including those run by Lido, have gradually amassed a lion’s share of the power over the dominant smat-contracts blockchain, Ethereum. One idea is to decentralize the validators themselves.
Earlier this year, Ethereum staking was popular, particularly with Lido Finance’s rise to prominence in the DeFi space, but it is now facing challenges, suspicions, and resentment.
The staking service for SOL tokens will be discontinued over the coming months, developers said.
