At a recent staking event, industry observers got a deep dive into how Ethereum's base layer evolution shapes the protocols operating on top of it. The discussion centered on Lido's intricate connection with Ethereum's infrastructure—highlighting how foundational network upgrades ripple through to influence strategic decisions for staking protocols. As Ethereum continues its technical roadmap, understanding these interdependencies becomes crucial for anyone tracking DeFi's infrastructure layer. The takeaway? Base layer shifts aren't just technical updates—they're strategic catalysts that force protocols to adapt, evolve, or risk obsolescence.

Ha, it's the same old talk about the base layer again. Simply put, whoever controls Ethereum's base layer holds the power to dictate yield.

Lido is so competitive, following every move at the base Ethereum layer. Protocols really have no way out.

Lido is boasting again about how closely it is tied to ETH, saying nicely that it's being led by ETH... When there's a grassroots update, all the protocols above have to change accordingly. Is this what they call a strategic catalyst? I think this is just dependence.

Lido is really betting on the underlying evolution of ETH; even a slight movement makes it shake, and this kind of dependence... to be honest, is a bit frightening.
