Lido Enables Direct ETH Staking on Linea with Chainlink CCIP

Lido Finance has launched direct ETH staking on the Linea Layer 2 network, offering users a seamless experience without asset bridges. The new feature leverages Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to unlock this capability. Users can stake Ethereum directly on Linea, receive wrapped staked ETH (wstETH), and access liquidity pools via dApps like XSwap, OpenOcean, and Interport with reduced costs and faster transaction times. This integration marks a significant milestone for Lido, Chainlink, and the wider DeFi ecosystem.
