Lido approves bridge-endpoint de-recognition and future NEC revocations

What happened

Lido DAO approved revoking canonical recognition for selected stETH and wstETH bridge endpoints and delegating future revocation decisions to the Network Expansion Committee.

What changed

The approved governance position narrows Lido's recognized multichain perimeter and expands the NEC's authority from endpoint recognition to future de-recognition.

What did not change

The proposal explicitly does not disable bridge infrastructure, force migration, impair existing token balances, or make a technical safety judgment about the affected bridges.

Confirmed

• The vote closed on June 22 with overwhelming approval.
• The listed networks are zkSync Era, Mode, Scroll, Mantle, Swell, Zircuit, Soneium, Polygon PoS, and Lisk.
• Future revocations are delegated to the NEC under the approved governance framework.
• The proposal states that holders do not need to take immediate action.

Still open

• The timing and publication of each recognition-status update remain to be verified.
• The precise disclosure and review process the NEC will use for future revocations remains unresolved.

What it means for an advisor

• Remove canonical-recognition assumptions for the listed endpoints from bridge diligence once the status update is confirmed.
• Do not equate loss of recognition with technical shutdown or immediate asset impairment.
• Add NEC revocation authority and its public-notice process to the Lido control map.
