Not long ago, we learned of a security incident involving Lido, the world’s largest provider of liquid staking for Ether (ETH). It is particularly worrying any time that a security breach occurs. Before you start panic selling, it’s important to understand just how serious this breach is and what Lido...
Okay, let's be real. When you hear “hack” and “crypto” in the same breath, it makes your stomach drop. Mine does too. Before you start imagining your valuable ETH evaporating into the metaverse, breathe easy. The most recent Lido hack turned on a compromised oracle key which led to a...
Okay, let's be frank. The significance of the Lido oracle hack may appear small, given that only $4,200 in gas fees were stolen. Alarm bells should certainly be sounding. It’s not the dollar amount that matters, it’s that the dream of decentralization has been exposed to the light of reality....
The rapidly changing landscape of cryptocurrency, matched with the complex technology behind it, continues to bring the ongoing risk of hacks and breaches. Lido Finance, the largest liquid staking adapter on Ethereum and a critical part of the Ethereum staking ecosystem, was recently attacked. This shocking occurrence resulted in the...

That’s why Lido Finance, the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, launched their first emergency DAO vote. This decision follows a recent security incident that led to the loss of $1.46 ETH worth in gas fees, requiring the rotation of a compromised oracle key. That hack compromised one of the...
So, Lido got hacked. A measly $4,200 was lost. Big deal, right? Wrong. It’s not only about payment, either. It’s a story about the fragility of our entire DeFi ecosystem and the false positive sense of security we are all too frequently addicted to. Think of it like this: your...
As it stands now, Lido absolutely controls the Ethereum staking space. Second, it now teeters on the edge of a potentially historic and certainly revolutionary change in its governance structure. The protocol is currently in the process of launching a new dual governance upgrade. This upgrade will rebalance decision-making power...
Okay, let's talk about power. In DeFi, the power is concentrated in the hands of the few, very few. The whales, the early adopters, and the LDO token hoarders are running the show. What if I told you that’s beginning to change? Lido's LIP-28, their governance upgrade proposal, is shaking...
Those challenges have Lido Finance — a key player in the Ethereum staking landscape — charting a different course in decentralized governance. Through its democratizing protocol, the native cryptocurrency of the protocol, Lido Protocol, has heard a major proposal, LIP-28, that would reshape its power balance—perhaps profoundly—on this path. This...

So, wow—Solana’s really been killing it, huh? Fifth largest crypto, TVL through the roof, fees surpassing Ethereum… it’s enough to make you think we've found the holy grail of blockchains. Before you remortgage the homestead and YOLO into SOL, hold up. More importantly, I’m a pragmatist who’d rather see cold,...
