- To encourage the development of infrastructure surrounding stETH, the Lido Alliance was established.
A proposal to become a member of the Lido Alliance and create a market specifically for the staked Ethereum (stETH) token of the liquid staking protocol is being considered by Aave’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
With an emphasis on restaking use cases, the Lido Alliance seeks to advance the development of stETH-related infrastructure. This cooperation was prompted by EigenLayer’s increasing supremacy in the sector since its inception last year. EigenLayer is an inventive Ethereum restaking protocol.
Why Aave is thinking about joining the Lido Alliance
According to the Aave Chan Initiative, a separate market will improve the wstETH holders’ experience and keep the loan protocol as the main platform for Lido users.
Furthermore, it would enable borrowers to pay higher rates for WETH without negatively impacting long-term users, allowing the DAO to take a more aggressive position on the main Aave v3 instance.
The idea also mentioned that Lido and other Merit incentives will draw additional WETH inflows to a specialized market.
In order to maintain steady profitability for both the stETH and WETH loops, the plan states that the borrowing capacity of WETH on V3 will be set at 90% of the given WETH, with updates overseen by the risk steward. Furthermore, with about 50 basis points of efficiency, the High-Efficiency Mode (E-Mode) will rank among the most efficient in the industry.
As of last week, the Aave community approved a preliminary temperature check to open the market, suggesting that support for the initiative is robust.
