Lido finance will cut fees and will increase the speed with the new Ethereum layer-2 integration as the fees on Ethereum today are low but the goal is to keep them lower so let’s read more today in our latest altcoin news today.

The so-called liquid staking service announced it will start expanding into other layer-2 scaling solutions for the Ethereum network and the project explained:

“For Ethereum stakers, this means staking with lower fees and access to a new suite of DeFi applications to amplify yields.”

Lido finance solved a key issue for most users when it comes to staking Ethereum. Usually, when you want to take part in staking on Ethereum, you would have to pay 32 ETH or about $50,000 at press time. For the less ETH-wealthy users, Lido allows you to stake any amount they want and earn a yield for doing so so it means that you can earn under 4% for staking on the paltform. The service became beloved among enthusiasts too with Lido dominating the market share. What’s more to it, you will receive a staked Ethereum token to keep the liquditiy even with the precious Ethereum locked up. You can also take this stETH and deposit it on Aave for another yield or use it as collateral to mint the DAI Stablecoin on Makerdao.

Now, Lido Finance will cut fees down especially since these operations can come with a cost, the decision comes at the right time. The Lido team is aiming to make the LDO stake asset tokens widely available on the Ethereum layer 2 and it will start small at first by integrating the wallet ARgent and making wstETH available on the zkSync users.

wstETH is also a version of stETH which is more compatible with a wider array of decentralzied finance projects. Argent is also a user-friendly wallet that integrated the layer-2 solution zkSync and Aztec is also another privacy-centric ETH scaler. With Lido leading the market, it will push it into layer 2 options that can firm up the lead and if not now, maybe in the next bull run we’ll see some new all-time highs.
