[Lido Engineering Lead Warns: Risk of Staking Deposit Hijacking During Ethereum Glamsterdam Upgrade Transition] According to Crypto Briefing, Lido Engineering Lead Dima Gusakov disclosed that during the Ethereum Glamsterdam hard fork transition, delegated staking protocols face frontrunning attack risks. Glamsterdam will introduce builder deposits using 0xB0-prefixed withdrawal credentials. Before and after the fork, these deposits will share the deposit queue with validator deposits. Malicious node operators could exploit this to hijack stakers' funds, redirecting them to the attacker's builder account, preventing the corresponding validators from being activated. The related fix proposal (consensus-specs 5735) has been closed as "not planned," leaving staking protocols to implement pre-deposit checks as a defense.
