Lido's proposed staking route requires 32 ETH bond versus 2.4 ETH default
- —Bond is 32 ETH for the first key and 30 ETH for each additional key, versus 2.4 ETH and 1.3 ETH on the 0x01 route
- —The module supports validators with up to 2,048 ETH of effective stake, compared with 32 ETH
- —Operators receive a 2% share of staking rewards, with 8% allocated to the treasury
- —Fee parity with a first existing default key is reached at roughly 747 ETH of delegated stake
Why it matters: The new route reshapes operator economics at Lido: the higher bond only pays off at large stake sizes, potentially concentrating validators.
