LIP-35: Staking Router v3 Architecture and Key Parameters
AI summary
This proposal seeks approval for the Staking Router v3 (SRv3) architecture, a significant upgrade to Lido's core infrastructure. SRv3 will enable Lido to support larger Ethereum validators (up to 2048 ETH per validator) and transition to a balance-based accounting system, moving away from the current validator-count-based model. It also lays the groundwork for new versions of the Curated and Community Staking modules and facilitates efficient stake migration between different modules.
If passed, Lido will be better equipped to adapt to upcoming Ethereum network changes, specifically EIP-7251, which allows for larger validator balances. This will improve the accuracy of ETH tracking within the protocol and enable smoother transitions between staking modules. The primary beneficiaries are Lido and its stakers, as the protocol becomes more robust and efficient. There are no clear losers identified in this technical upgrade.
