Urgent: Metamask leaves Lido indexer after security incident
Urgent 30 September, 23:35 UTC: Metamask leaves Lido indexer after a security incident affecting infrastructure.
Officially: Metamask says the investigation includes external partners, and no immediate threats to the custodians have been detected. The affected deposit service validators (non-custodial) — they do not control withdrawal keys.
Lido confirms: the final validators will leave by 7 October 2026, and the full withdrawal and re-entry cycle will take about 45 days due to queue times. ETH will return gradually.
Risks: loss of yield + likelihood of stop penalties if it is halted.
Good news: stETH holders don’t need to take any action. My take: a precautionary exit is a positive step for system security.
Follow-up on the impact $LDO $ETH . Do you sell or hold stETH?
