Andreessen Horowitz, Ethereum staking protokolü Lido'ya 70 milyon dolar yatırım yaptı

Ethereum staking çözümü Lido Finance, risk sermayesi devi Andreessen Horowitz'den 70 milyon dolar topladı ve protokolün Mayıs 2021'den bu yana ilk finansman turunu işaret etti. 

Andreessen Horowitz’s investment in Lido is intended to further support the adoption of decentralized staking solutions for Ethereum 2.0, a spokesperson for the venture capital firm said. Ethereum 2.0 marks a significant shift in the network’s consensus algorithm by ushering in the adoption of proof-of-stake (PoS) and other upgrades that could enhance scalability and reduce fees. The transition to Ethereum 2.0, which began in November 2020, is still ongoing.

According to Andreessen, staking Ether (ETH) has significant barriers due to the high threshold for operating a node. To become a full validator, users must be able to stake at least 32 ETH, which is worth over $90,000 at current prices.

Andreessen, Lido'ya yatırım yapmanın yanı sıra, protokol aracılığıyla BNB Beacon Chain üzerindeki ETH varlıklarının bir kısmını stake ettiğini söyledi. Girişim şirketi, “Lido ile stake yapmak, kurumsal yatırımcıların karşılaştığı operasyonel karmaşıklıkların çoğunu ortadan kaldırıyor” dedi.

Ethereum’s BNB Beacon Chain recently registered its 300,000th validator, according to industry data. At the time of writing, nearly 9.7 million ETH had been staked for a total value of over $27.1 billion.

Although terms like Ethereum 2.0 and Eth2 are still widely used in the industry, the Ethereum Foundation announced in January it would ditch such terminology. Instead, it now refers to the original Ethereum blockchain as the “execution layer” and the PoS chain as the “consensus layer.”

Founded in 2020, Lido Finance offers a liquid staking solution for Ethereum 2.0, allowing users to stake their ETH with no lockups or minimum deposits. As Cointelegraph reported, Lido also supports other tokens, having only recently added Kusama liquid staking.
