Summary

Lido has revoked official certification for wstETH bridge endpoints across zkSync Era, Mode, Scroll, Mantle, Swell, Zircuit, Soneium, Polygon PoS and Lisk following a Lido DAO Snapshot vote. The move removes official backing for those wrapped stETH bridge connections, but Lido said user funds remain safe and bridging assets back to Ethereum is unaffected. It also said active monitoring, marketing support and ecosystem development on the affected networks will stop, signaling a pullback in operational support rather than an immediate disruption to existing users.
