Lido Brings Direct ETH Staking to Four Layer-2 Networks

Lido expanded direct ETH staking from Arbitrum, Base, Linea and Optimism using local liquidity pools and Chainlink CCIP, reducing manual bridging friction while staking settles on Ethereum. Adoption, fee capture, liquidity and bridge risks remain unproven, leaving LDO, LINK and wstETH as watchlist exposures rather than confirmed beneficiaries.
