Lido Finance has introduced direct ETH staking on Linea, an Ethereum Layer 2 network boasting over $1.9 billion in TVL, powered by Chainlink’s CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol).
This upgrade allows users to stake ETH and instantly receive wrapped staked ETH (wstETH) without manually bridging assets from the mainnet. Users can stake directly through XSwap, OpenOcean, and Interport, enjoying reduced gas fees and faster execution times.
The integration signifies a milestone for both Lido and Chainlink, as CCIP’s programmable token transfers enable seamless cross-chain operations. Chainlink Automation maintains liquidity efficiency, while Data Feeds ensure accurate staking rates.
This launch expands wstETH liquidity within the Linea ecosystem and strengthens its position as a cross-chain staking solution. It follows Chainlink’s major collaboration with Mastercard to connect global payment data with blockchain systems via CCIP, illustrating how CCIP unites DeFi, payments, and enterprise infrastructure under a shared interoperability layer.
