## 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.
