Whether Lido has paused assigning new deposits to MetaMask Staking and whether MetaMask Wallet is affected are two separate questions that need to be verified independently.
An October 23 update on the Lido governance forum confirmed that the relevant restrictions had taken effect in two community-verification modules. The soft limits prevent new deposits from being assigned to this operator. This is a response to an infrastructure security incident, not a notice telling ordinary wallet users to move their assets.
MetaMask’s October 1 announcement said it had precautionarily exited the affected validators. As of that investigation, it had found no indication that the wallet or customer funds were affected. It also explained that its non-custodial staking service does not manage withdrawal keys on behalf of customers. This statement reflects the status at the time of the investigation and should not be rewritten as a permanent guarantee of safety.
When you see security news, first check which service is affected and who controls which permissions. Don’t comply with any message using this as a pretext to ask for your seed phrase. Staking still carries operational, slashing, and smart contract risks.
