2025 has been a triumphant year for @LidoFinance, which has broken new ground in both DeFi and TradFi. Lido v3, launching soon, will transform Lido from a “one size fits most” solution into one that offers customizable staking solutions for any need.

Kelp and Aave have successfully completed a series of steps for rsETH backing, including burning the exploiter’s rsETH on Arbitrum. 117,132 rsETH will be progressively refilled from Aave Recovery Guardian and Kelp Recovery Safe into the LayerZero OFT adapter on mainnet over the next two weeks. rsETH on Mainnet and L2s remains fully backed at all times. Kelp will unpause withdrawals, tentatively within 24 hours, after the first tranche to the LayerZero OFT adapter. All rsETH operations - deposits, redemptions, bridging, and claims - will resume as usual after contracts are unpaused. Last week, we completed a security hardening pass across all LayerZero bridging configurations: verification now requires 4 independent attestors, block confirmations have been raised from 42 to 64, and all L2-to-L2 routes have been deprecated. These changes have been audited by BailSec. We are in the process of migrating to CCIP for further strengthened cross-chain bridging. Thanks to the @aave team and our DeFi United partners for being the cornerstone of this recovery.

Ethereum treasury management is becoming an operational conversation with liquidity, custody support, collateral utility, and deployment flexibility increasingly shaping how institutions approach staking infrastructure. Appreciate the support provided by @LidoFinance as the EEA begins engaging directly with Ethereum-native treasury workflows.

ETH treasuries need more than staking rewards. They need liquidity, custody access, and operational flexibility. @EntEthAlliance's deployment through the Lido protocol shows how stETH can fit into ETH treasury strategies in practice. blog.lido.fi/what-the-enter…
