MetaMask suspends its Ethereum staking services following a security incident
#MetaMask Staking has taken precautionary steps to protect customer assets tied to its #Ethereum validators, including initiating exits from validators operated through #Lido . The move may result in lost staking rewards and downtime penalties as the validators are deactivated to mitigate potential slashing risks. The affected validators have begun the exit process and are expected to complete withdrawals by October 7, 2026, although full withdrawals have not yet been finalized.
