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.
