Lido, the leading liquid staking protocol and one of the largest DeFi protocols with $28B+ TVL, is upgrading to Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain infrastructure for wstETH, across all chains. With this upgrade, all cross-chain transfers of @LidoFinance's Wrapped Staked Ether (wstETH), the largest LST in the industry, will be secured by Chainlink CCIP by leveraging the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard. Work is ongoing to upgrade wstETH across all 16 existing chains the token is currently deployed on. In addition, early expansions are already happening across  @Plasma, @monad, @inkonchain, @0G_labs, and @Ronin_Network via CCIP. This upgrade builds on Lido’s existing use of the Chainlink platform, including secure Data Feeds that facilitate the adoption of stETH/wstETH across DeFi and CCIP-powered Direct Staking rails that enables users to stake ETH directly from other networks and receive wstETH. By upgrading to CCIP, the interoperability standard chosen by the world's largest financial institutions and leading DeFi protocols, Lido is enhancing the security, interoperability, and composability of wstETH across the multi-chain ecosystem, driving new opportunities for wstETH holders and DeFi protocols alike.
