Lido announced on October 15 (UTC+8) that users can now stake ETH directly on Ethereum L2s, including Arbitrum, Base, Linea, and Optimism. This on-chain update eliminates the need to bridge to the Ethereum mainnet, as Chainlink CCIP manages the process. ETH is converted to wstETH through liquidity pools on the L2, then automatically bridged and staked. ETH news highlights this as a major upgrade for L2 staking efficiency.

ME News reports that on October 15 (UTC+8), Lido announced its interface now supports users in directly staking ETH on Arbitrum, Base, Linea, and Optimism without manually bridging to Ethereum mainnet—a feature enabled by Chainlink CCIP. Users' ETH will be exchanged for wstETH via a dedicated liquidity pool on the same L2, while the backend automatically bridges the ETH to Ethereum and completes staking through Lido.
