Lido has introduced a direct staking option that allows users to stake Ether (ETH) from Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum, Base, Linea, and Optimism. Users receive wrapped staked ETH (wstETH) on their original network without needing to manually bridge assets. This is facilitated by a local liquidity pool that supplies wstETH while the actual ETH is staked on Ethereum. Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) manages the cross-network instructions and transfers, simplifying the staking process and improving user experience.
Lido's new direct staking feature for ETH on Layer 2 networks is the subject, with Pluang market data showing a breadth of 50 major cryptocurrencies where only 4 rose and 45 fell today. Notable movers include EOS (EOS.IO) up 8.13% at Rp12.649, SUSHI (SushiSwap) down 8.73% at Rp3.860 with a typical hold time of 102 days and a 68% sell order activity, and ZIL (Zilliqa) down 8.11% at Rp56 with a 99% buy order activity and a typical hold time of 133 days. These figures are as of Oct 15, 2026 18:51 WIB.
