Lido's liquid staking ecosystem has made new progress. According to the latest news, an important update will be introduced in the version launching on January 13, 2026—optimization and adjustment of the combined margin and cross-collateralization discount mechanisms.

The core focus of this adjustment is the reclassification of stETH. Specifically, stETH will be included in the ETH asset category within the expanded risk matrix for combined margin, ensuring prudent risk management while also freeing up more capital efficiency space for participants within the ecosystem.

For stakers and DeFi users, this means that stETH, as an important liquid staking asset, will be more rationalized in terms of risk pricing and collateral valuation. Although these parameter tweaks may seem technical, they directly impact the operational efficiency of the entire decentralized finance ecosystem.

STETH-4,04%

ETH-4,1%

stETH reclassification? I thought it was some big event, but it turns out it's just parameter adjustments... But speaking of which, the improved capital efficiency is indeed impressive.

Wait, will the classification adjustment of stETH really lead to an improvement in capital efficiency? I was saying three years ago that liquid staking would change the game, and now there's finally some movement, albeit a bit slow...

stETH is finally no longer being treated as a mouse, there's hope for capital efficiency.

stETH needs reclassification. This will unlock more capital efficiency. However, fine-tuning parameters often leads to unintended changes. Let's see if Lido can truly optimize this time.

stETH included in the ETH category? Now stakers can use it more freely, and capital efficiency is definitely up.

ngl, stETH reclassification sounds nice on paper but let me actually crunch the numbers here—what's the real gas impact on composability? technically speaking, if you analyze the cross-collateral mechanics, most protocols already price this inefficiently anyway

stETH reclassification is basically an acknowledgment of reality. The previous risk model was not accurate enough, and now it finally aligns. The issue is that subsequent outcomes depend on the execution details; if the parameters are not adjusted properly, it could even make systemic risk easier to trigger.
