Lido Finance Celebrates Milestone of One Million Ethereum Validators

Lido Finance 慶祝以太坊驗證者達到 100 萬個里程碑

Lido Finance, the leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol for liquid staking on Ethereum, has achieved a significant milestone by reaching one million Ethereum validators. This achievement was announced through an April 29th post on , solidifying Lido Finance's position as a leader in the DeFi space.

Lido Finance 是以太坊上領先的流動性質押去中心化金融 (DeFi) 協議，已經實現了一個重要的里程碑，以太坊驗證者數量達到 100 萬。這項成就是透過 4 月 29 日的一篇文章宣布的，鞏固了 Lido Finance 作為 DeFi 領域領導者的地位。

Liquid staking protocols like Lido Finance play a pivotal role in democratizing staking for retail users with limited capital. Traditionally, individuals would require 32 Ether to operate their own validator nodes on Ethereum. However, Lido Finance offers an alternative pathway, making staking accessible to a wider audience.

像 Lido Finance 這樣的流動質押協議在資本有限的零售用戶的質押民主化方面發揮關鍵作用。傳統上，個人需要 32 個以太幣才能在以太坊上運行自己的驗證器節點。然而，Lido Finance 提供了另一種途徑，讓更廣泛的受眾可以參與質押。

According to data from Dune, Lido Finance commands a substantial 28.5% of staked Ether, with an additional 13.6% staked through the Coinbase exchange. Currently, over 27% of the entire Ether supply is engaged in staking activities.

根據 Dune 的數據，Lido Finance 擁有 28.5% 的質押以太幣，另外 13.6% 是透過 Coinbase 交易所質押的。目前，超過 27% 的以太幣供應量都參與了質押活動。

The appeal of liquid staking protocols like Lido lies in the liquidity benefits they provide. Users who participate in staking through Lido receive Lido Staked ETH (stETH) in return, which can be utilized in various other DeFi protocols.

像 Lido 這樣的流動性質押協議的吸引力在於它們提供的流動性優勢。透過 Lido 參與質押的用戶會收到 Lido 質押 ETH（stETH）作為回報，這些 ETH 可以在各種其他 DeFi 協議中使用。

This stands in stark contrast to traditional staking methods, where staked Ether remains locked and inaccessible for the duration of the staking period.

這與傳統的質押方法形成鮮明對比，在傳統的質押方法中，質押的以太幣在質押期間保持鎖定且無法訪問。

The rise of liquid staking is significantly contributing to the growth of DeFi. Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols has experienced a substantial surge, reaching $97 billion in the first quarter of 2024 from a low of $36 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023. Current TVL stands at $92.32 billion, according to DefiLlama.

流動性質押的興起極大地促進了 DeFi 的成長。 DeFi 協議的鎖定總價值 (TVL) 經歷了大幅飆升，從 2023 年第四季 360 億美元的低點達到 2024 年第一季的 970 億美元。 根據 DefiLlama 的數據，目前 TVL 為 923.2 億美元。

This growth, which saw a 65.6% increase quarter-on-quarter, can be primarily attributed to liquid staking protocols like Lido, as noted by on-chain intelligence provider Messari. The cumulative TVL amassed by liquid staking protocols exceeds $47.7 billion, with Lido alone accounting for over $29.9 billion.

正如鏈上情報提供者 Messari 指出的那樣，這一成長季度環比增長了 65.6%，這主要歸功於 Lido 等流動質押協議。流動質押協議累積的累計 TVL 超過 477 億美元，其中僅 Lido 就超過 299 億美元。

Despite its success, concerns have been raised about Lido's growing dominance within the ecosystem. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has previously expressed apprehensions regarding potential centralization risks associated with Lido. In a blog post dating back to September 2023, Buterin highlighted the need for vigilance against such risks, acknowledging the efforts made by protocols like Lido in implementing safeguards while cautioning that one layer of defense may not suffice.

儘管取得了成功，但人們對麗都在生態系統中日益增長的主導地位表示擔憂。以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 先前曾表達對 Lido 相關潛在中心化風險的擔憂。在 2023 年 9 月的一篇部落格文章中，Buterin 強調需要對此類風險保持警惕，承認 Lido 等協議在實施保障措施方面所做的努力，同時警告說，一層防禦可能還不夠。
