Lido's proposed Fallback Exits would repay lenders with borrower collateral

  • —Fallback Exits cover withdrawal shortfalls with borrower collateral, reducing debt
  • —Borrowers nearest the liquidation LTV threshold are affected first
  • —Lenders receive transferable wstETH, needing a sale or Lido's withdrawal queue for ETH
  • —Eligibility cutoff, valuation, fees and limits remain unspecified; audits pending
Why it matters: The design rewrites exit rules for lending markets: lenders take on staking-token risk, while borrowers face lender-driven position reductions.
