Lido opens a vote to re-endorse Starknet wstETH bridge endpoints

What happened

Lido governance opened a Snapshot on a Starknet Foundation proposal to recognize new Starknet wstETH bridge endpoints as canonical and transfer governance roles to Lido DAO.

What changed

A concrete governance path was opened for restoring canonical status after a legacy-token migration and prior offboarding. This expanded the Lido research perimeter to the replacement Starknet deployment and its governance-forwarder controls.

What did not change

The March event did not itself re-endorse the endpoints, complete the governance-role transfer, or change Ethereum stETH withdrawal mechanics. Ketju's Lido approval remained limited to Ethereum.

Confirmed

• The official Lido forum proposal identifies the new and legacy Starknet wstETH contracts and the governance forwarder.
• The proposal states that governance roles would transfer to Lido DAO only if the proposal passed.
• The Snapshot began on March 26 and was scheduled to end April 3.

Still open

• The proposal described the migration as complete while also stating that legacy-token migrations continued.
• The Network Expansion Committee's technical and process objections had not been resolved during March.
• The vote outcome, role-transfer execution, and post-execution verification were not established within the event window.

What it means for an advisor

• Monitor the proposal as a possible new Lido bridge/control surface, not as approval of Starknet wstETH.
• Require verified role-transfer transactions and deployment verification before treating the replacement endpoints as canonical.
• Do not infer that audits, migration progress, or DAO endorsement would make the bridged asset appropriate for clients.
