Lido integrates Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain Ethereum staking on Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, simplifying access to wstETH and enhancing liquidity in DeFi 💸

Lido has integrated Chainlink CCIP to allow users to stake Ethereum on second-layer networks like Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism and receive wrapped staking tokens (wstETH) without extra steps. The new "Direct Staking" feature will simplify the process and strengthen cross-chain liquidity, expanding access to DeFi.

With Chainlink, Lido also obtains wstETH rate data and utilizes automation to optimize liquidity management and large-scale cross-chain ETH transfers.
