Lido Finance has launched direct ETH staking on Arbitrum, Base, Linea and Optimism. The service runs on Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), allowing users to stake in the Layer 2's native environment and receive liquid staking tokens without first bridging assets back to Ethereum mainnet. The rollout is intended to simplify multi-chain staking and reduce user costs and capital friction, and is positioned to expand Lido's staking market share and draw more assets onto Layer 2 networks.

Hashi, a cross-chain bridge project in the Sui ecosystem, has gone live. In its first phase, the project is bridging $500 million worth of Bitcoin to the Sui network.
