  • Lido Finance, the leading Ethereum liquid staking protocol, has upgraded to Version 2 (v2), enabling users to withdraw their staked ether (stETH) from the platform at a 1:1 ratio.
  • The upgrade introduces a streamlined process for stETH withdrawals, providing a more user-friendly and efficient staking experience.
  • Lido v2 also brings in the “Staking Router,” a feature aimed at enhancing the network’s decentralization by enabling various types of node operators.

Lido Finance, the leading liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, has turned a new leaf with the launch of its upgraded Version 2 (v2). This upgrade is a game changer, bringing about much-needed enhancements to the platform’s functionality, including the much-anticipated activation of ether withdrawals.

Ether Withdrawals Now Possible with Lido v2

The most striking development with this upgrade is the ability for users to withdraw their staked Ether (stETH) from the platform. Before this upgrade, stETH holders could not retrieve their original ETH, a limitation that v2 has effectively removed. Now, users can withdraw Ether from the platform with staked Ether at a 1:1 ratio, heralding a significant improvement in the liquid staking process.

This change is especially significant considering Lido’s substantial staking volume. Over 6.1 million Ether, valued at around $12 billion, is currently staked on Ethereum via Lido, reflecting the protocol’s popularity and the immense impact of this upgrade.

Streamlined Process and Enhanced Decentralization

The withdrawal process has been carefully designed to be efficient and user-friendly. Upon making a withdrawal request, an oracle identifies the necessary Lido operators who need to exit validator nodes to fulfill the request. Once the specified validators have exited, stETH holders can claim their ETH.

Moreover, Lido v2 also introduces the “Staking Router,” a new feature set to bring modular infrastructure to liquid staking. The Staking Router enables various types of node operators on Lido, ranging from solo stakers to DAOs, which can significantly enhance the network’s decentralization.

Lido v2: A Secure and Trustworthy Upgrade

The upgrade to v2 was not an impulsive decision; instead, it was a carefully planned and meticulously executed process. The protocol underwent multiple security audits and was passed through an on-chain vote, ensuring its security and reliability.

Apart from the practical enhancements, the upgrade also represents a philosophical evolution for Lido. As Isidoros Passadis, a Lido DAO contributor, states, “Simple, accessible, and timely withdrawals are a core part of a full-fledged staking product.”

The launch of Lido v2 had immediate practical impacts as well. In the first few hours after the activation of ether withdrawals, users redeemed over 260 stETH for its underlying Ether, amounting to roughly $500,000. This enthusiastic response underscores the pent-up demand for such a feature, highlighting how this upgrade responds directly to the needs and expectations of the Lido community.

The launch of Lido v2 marks a significant milestone in the protocol’s journey. By facilitating ether withdrawals and introducing the Staking Router, Lido has set new standards in the world of liquid staking, solidifying its position as a pioneer in the Ethereum ecosystem. The v2 upgrade is indeed a promising sign of what’s to come.
