Lido announced in an official statement on December 4 that following the successful completion of the Ethereum Fusaka hard fork, a vulnerability was found in the Prysm consensus client that caused network participation issues. The Lido protocol is operating normally—stakers have no cause for concern. Thanks to the protocol’s distributed, decentralized underlying validator node set, Lido was minimally impacted by the incident. Prompt action from the Prysm team and node operators helped mitigate the issue. The Lido team worked closely with the Prysm team, monitoring the situation overnight and helping affected node operators implement the recommended temporary fixes. Currently, most Prysm setups running on Lido have been restored; some nodes have temporarily switched to other client configurations to finish repairs.

On December 4, Bitget Wallet rolled out its Social Login feature, letting users create and access their self-hosted wallet via Google, Apple ID, or email—no need to jot down or store a recovery phrase. The feature is powered by TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) technology, where private keys are generated, encrypted, and used inside a hardware-isolated space. This means keys can’t be viewed, copied, or exported. Wallet activation takes just seconds, and users can regain access by logging back in when switching devices—all signature operations happen within the TEE. Per Bitget Wallet, the solution is built on AWS Nitro Enclaves. Unlike multi-party computation (MPC)-based solutions, TEE keeps all critical operations on the user’s local device, streamlining the recovery process and cutting down on system complexity. While the industry has seen past attempts at social login, solutions combining TEE hardware isolation with mobile-scale rollouts remain relatively rare.
