Lido V2 Coming

Lido @LidoFinance

Today Lido contributors are proud to present Lido V2 - Lido’s largest upgrade to date and an important step towards further decentralization. blog.lido.fi/introducing-li…

Lido introduces V2 which will bring two major upgrades:

1. Staking Router: A new modular architecture that allows anyone (incl. solo stakers) to become a Node Operator.

2. Withdrawals: An upgrade allowing stETH holders to withdraw directly from the Beacon Chain.

Zhejiang Shapella Live

Barnabas Busa @BarnabasBusa

And we hit Shapella on Zhejiang testnet. Withdrawals and BLS changes are already included in the first slot at 43200 (epoch 1350). Full and partial withdrawals both processed. BLS changes are also processed. For more info on withdrawals check out: zhejiang.beaconcha.in/slot/43203#wit…

The Shapella upgrade is activated on the Zhejiang testnet, meaning the testnet successfully simulated withdrawals of staked ETH for the first time.
Zhejiang is the first of three testnets to run through a simulation of Shanghai. The next testnet upgrade will happen sometime in the next few weeks to Sepolia, followed by Goerli.
