The transition of Ethereum's consensus mechanism from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake was a difficult task, but was accomplished without downtime. Lido, the largest liquid staking protocol, has also undergone improvements, including the addition of a staking router mechanism.

This mechanism allows for the allocation of stake across plug and play modules, creating a marketplace of stake allocation. As more modules are added, the staking router will make allocation decisions for which modules the stake should go to.
