The StarkNet Foundation has recently expanded access for pooled stakers to claim their pending STRK tokens, a move that includes participants staking through Lido. This update is particularly relevant for those who have been staking Ethereum up until the Merge, which took place on September 15, 2022. For more detailed information on how eligible stakers can claim their STRK, resources are available online.
Transition to Mainnet: Lido and SSV Collaboration
In a significant development in the Ethereum ecosystem, the collaboration between Lido and SSV (Secret Shared Validators) is progressing towards a major milestone. The Lido x SSV Simple DVT testnet phase has concluded successfully, with results showing that aggregate validator performance surpassed all initial benchmarks set for the test. This paves the way for the next phase of development.
Selected participants are soon expected to be onboarded to the mainnet version of the Lido Simple DVT Module leveraging SSV technology. This transition is not only a technical upgrade but also highlights a maturing landscape of decentralized finance solutions that enhance security and efficiency in blockchain operations.
The advancements in both claiming STRK tokens and the transition to mainnet by Lido and SSV represent significant steps forward in the decentralization and functionality of blockchain networks. These developments are expected to contribute substantially to the robustness and scalability of Ethereum as a leading blockchain platform.
For stakeholders in the Ethereum network and potential investors looking into decentralized finance, these updates mark critical developments that could influence future participation and investment decisions within the crypto space.
