Lido's stVaults Launch: L2 Networks Can Now Set Custom Rules for Ethereum (ETH) Staking

Lido, the leading liquid staking protocol, has introduced a novel solution called "stVaults." This new framework empowers Layer 2 (L2) networks to establish their own customized parameters for Ethereum staking. stVaults will allow individual L2 ecosystems to define specific rules regarding validator selection, fee structures, and reward distribution directly on their networks. This development aims to enhance flexibility and sovereignty for L2s, potentially accelerating the adoption of liquid staking across the broader Ethereum scaling landscape. By delegating control, Lido strengthens its infrastructure while enabling L2s like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync to tailor staking services to their unique community needs.
