Why Lido Finance’s Support of Ethereum Upgrade Is Important?

Ongoing voting showed that the Lido community would most likely support the Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade. The protocol’s TVL growth has evidently surpassed others.

The call by Lido Finance [LDO] on its community to approve withdrawals on its Staking Router might have yielded the much-needed fruits.

According to the snapshot of voting, 100% of the liquid-staking protocol community member who had taken part in the process were in support of the proposal.

How much are 1,10,100 LDOs worth today?

A few days back, Lido proposed the V2 upgrade which could affect its off-chain and on-chain system. On 28 February, the voting process opened as the protocol would play a part in the fast-approaching Shanghai Upgrade on the Ethereum [ETH] blockchain.

Details from the snapshot showed that the voting process would last till 7 March. With the current momentum, there is a high chance that those opposed to the suggestion might have to settle with the agreement. Irrespective of the outcome Lido remains the largest staking protocol on Ethereum.

According to the Dune Analytics dashboard, investors who had taken the Lido staking APR offer had suppressed to low figures. Despite the fall, Lido still had a number as high as 129,224. The protocol had taken a 31.30% share of the total Ethereum staked.

With the incoming support, Lido, on 22 February, had explained how the Capella hard fork would affect its ecosystem. The Capella hard fork also known as the Shanghai Upgrade will allow validators who staked 32 ETH to withdraw their rewards.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

    Rune Christensen, co-founder of MakerDAO, has warned that the EU's specific interpretation of the MiCA regulations could lead to a disruption of DeFi development.

He is concerned about the potential impact of this decision and stated that "it would make DeFi frontends based on regular internet domain names unfeasible." Additionally, Christensen explained in detail that only decentralized or locally downloaded frontends can operate, as well as those that adopt KYC measures and procedures.
