The initiative marks a year of building Lido's community by engaging new users, developing educational materials, supporting node operators, and coordinating upgrades such as the Simple DVT, a technology poised to bolster security and decentralization in Ethereum staking.

Vitalik Buterin wants to reduce the centralization risks associated with large staking operators like Lido. The new framework proposes a two-tiered model, distinguishing between Service Operators and Delegators, and between heavy and light services.

Concerns regarding outdated calculations, treasury limitations, and potential harm to the protocol's stability have led to skepticism from Lido's advisors.

Frax announced a proposal to distribute protocol revenues to stakers, inspired by Uniswap's recent strategy, to incentivize long-term commitment within the Frax ecosystem and strengthen decentralized governance, with a formal plan expected in 10 days.

As "restaking" trend gains momentum, voices within the community, including Ethereum's co-founder, raise concerns about the potential risks and implications for the network’s security.
