.@LidoFinance, the largest liquid staking protocol with $20B TVL, just published their cross-chain security principles With this, Lido provides insight to why they chose to adopt @Chainlink CCIP last November as the official cross-chain infra for Wrapped Staked Ether (wstETH), instead of @LayerZero_Core Key takeaway: CCIP provides strong decentralization, native safeguards, and issuer controls by default as part of its protocol-level design These properties align closely with the security requirements that Lido identified for wstETH’s multi-chain expansion In contrast, LayerZero is burdened by unsafe defaults, limited decentralization, extensive custom engineering work, and technical vendor lock-in constraints The choice was clear 🤝(Zach Rynes | CLG)
