0/ Today, the Ethereum Foundation completed a bilateral swap of ~21,269 aWETH to wstETH, coordinated with @LidoFinance and @mellowprotocol as part of their ongoing deleveraging work.

Lido contributors are actively working on Curated Module v2 👷 At @LidoFinance Day in Cannes, I shared a status update on the road to mainnet and what this upgrade means for the evolution of the Lido validator set. Take a look below: youtu.be/_Hn0ob3HEDw

A proposal for Lido DAO to contribute to @aave’s coordinated rsETH relief effort has landed on the Research Forum following this week’s Kelp's rsETH LayerZero bridge exploit. The proposal authorizes a one-time, capped contribution of up to 2,500 stETH to a dedicated relief vehicle, solely as part of a fully funded recovery package. The proposal is designed to reduce broader ecosystem spillover and support an orderly resolution for affected users. DeFi United. Read more below: research.lido.fi/t/lido-dao-con…

1/ On April 18, an attacker drained 116,500 rsETH (~$292M) from Kelp's cross-chain bridge. rsETH markets on Aave and other lending venues were frozen shortly thereafter.

stETH and wstETH are unaffected by the rsETH incident. This issue does not impact the Lido staking protocol.

PSA: the Integrated Fast Swap feature on stake.lido.fi/withdrawals is undergoing maintenance. DEX swaps are unaffected and fully available by directly visiting the relevant DEXes; in-protocol (w)stETH withdrawals continue to function normally.

Liquidity shouldn’t be a waiting game. Fast swaps on @LidoFinance now route via CoW Protocol, turning “unstake” into instant liquidity across ETH, WETH, USDC, USDT, USDS, WBTC, with no withdrawal queue. Protected execution and strong pricing, built directly into Lido.

Integrated Fast Swaps are live. Skip the withdrawal queue and unstake into multiple assets - including ETH, WETH, USDC & WBTC - for instant liquidity. Native. Seamless. Instant. ⚡

Who’s up to fill in this free space in @LidoFinance CSM deposit queue?

For the first time in @LidoFinance's history, less than 90% of the protocol's TVL is controlled by Curated Operators. Community and Home stakers are quietly gaining share, making the protocol even more reliable, decentralized, and robust! Upwards only

Proposal: Introducing Identified DVT Clusters (IDVTC) to Lido CSM This proposal brings a tailored bonded DVT solution to the Lido Community Staking Module, accelerating DVT adoption and furthering the resilience of CSM. ↓

DeFi, simplified. Introducing two new vaults: EarnETH & EarnUSD One vault for ETH-based capital. One for stablecoins. Now live on stake.lido.fi/earn ↓

Most ETH bridged to Linea will be staked on Ethereum Mainnet via Lido V3 at the bridge level, meaning your ETH generates yield in the background, with no change to your bridging experience.

@austingriffith @ethereum @EvanVanNess solo alternative: <=2.4e ($4,670) to run a validator using Lido CSM

💵 It now costs $61,280 to run an @ethereum validator ⌚️HOWEVER you will have to wait in line for 2 months 😅 because there is $7.84 billion usd in front of you #️⃣ hashtag @EvanVanNess

Lido is built on Ethereum. @LidoFinance is a decentralized liquid staking protocol. Users stake ETH, receive stETH, and keep liquidity while earning staking rewards. It helps secure the network while giving individuals and institutions access to participate in staking.

With more than 565,000 ETH staked via the Lido Community Staking Module, Lido is now the largest permissionless staking protocol on Ethereum.

Lido V3 Mainnet Launch Community Call x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Lido V3 is live on Ethereum mainnet, introducing stVaults: Modular staking infrastructure for builders, powered by stETH. blog.lido.fi/lido-v3-is-liv… ↓

CSM Share Limit: 7.5% The CSM permissionless share limit has been increased from 5% to 7.5% of total Lido stake, further enhancing the decentralisation of the Lido protocol. Enhanced access, enhanced decentralization.

JUST IN: The largest corporate Ethereum holder on Earth just acquired a stake in the most powerful content creator in human history. $200 million from Bitmine into MrBeast’s Beast Industries. Here’s what every analyst is missing: This isn’t a crypto company buying brand exposure. This is the construction of the largest retail DeFi onramp ever built. 450 million subscribers. 1.4 billion views in 90 days. $473 million revenue in 2025. Gen Z and Alpha demographics who will define financial infrastructure for the next 50 years. Bitmine didn’t write a $200 million check for marketing. They bought the distribution channel. When Beast Industries launches its financial platform with embedded DeFi features, every single MrBeast video becomes wallet activation infrastructure. Every challenge becomes an onboarding event. Every giveaway becomes a transaction tutorial for 450 million people who have never touched a blockchain. The backers tell you everything: Cathie Wood’s ARK. Kraken. Tom Lee’s Fundstrat. These aren’t vanity investors. They see what I see. Wall Street is modeling crypto adoption through institutional ETF flows. Meanwhile, a single deal just created direct transmission from Ethereum treasury capital to 450 million eyeballs controlled by a man who buried himself alive for content. The institutions tracking traditional finance rails are about to get front-run by the creator economy. Deal closes in 4 days. By Q2, Beast platform beta. By Q4, the first DeFi user metrics force consensus to reprice everything they thought they knew about retail crypto adoption. This is the moment crypto found its distribution moat. Position accordingly.
