Lido Provides Update on Ethereum Withdrawals, Including Plans for V2 Upgrades

Cointime Official

Lido Finance, a staking protocol for Ethereum 2.0, recently provided an update on its withdrawal process for Ethereum. According to the tweet, Lido DAO is currently undergoing seven V2 audits in preparation for the upgrade.

The codebase for the upgrade is reportedly very close to being finalized, with all major fixes already merged. In addition, a four-week Goerli testnet is expected to commence next week, around March 20th.

Full thread:

Security is always the priority. It’s a fundamental part of Lido’s DNA and mission.

$1.2 million has been spent on 7 V2 audits, the results of which will be made publicly available upon completion.

So far they’ve uncovered several findings that have required swift attention.

As of last friday, all key findings have been remediated and the relevant fixes merged: https://github.com/lidofinance/lido-dao/pull/659… The updated contracts have been deployed to Zhejiang where they are currently being tested.

What does this mean for the timeline?

Lido DAO contributors have been testing functionality on Zhejiang since Friday.

While the Goerli hardfork is expected to happen later today, the time spent on addressing audit results has had a knock-on effect on Lido’s Goerli timeline.

While the goal was to be ready for the Goerli hardfork this evening, the target date for the Lido upgrade has been pushed back to next week.

It is estimated that Node Operators will need 3-4 weeks to fully implement and test validator exits once the upgrade goes live.

In addition to this, stETH withdrawals won’t launch on mainnet until all audits concerning on-chain code are completed (expected end of April).

Adding another 2 weeks as a safety margin, the current expectation is for mainnet withdrawals to be live around mid May.

P.S. of the 7 V2 audits, 2 have completed and 5 are in progress. Full reports will be posted publicly as they become available. - @sigp_io dc4bc Security Audit https://github.com/lidofinance/audits#03-2023-sigma-prime-dc4bc-security-audit… - @chain_security Lido Staking Router Audit

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."

  • Are we finally ready for a gas limit increase?

    There has been growing discussion around the possibility of increasing Ethereum’s gas throughput, either by raising the gas limit or reducing slot time. The key argument in favor of this is that the hardware requirements for running a validator have steadily decreased over the past four years.
